Hi John. Thanks for the continued narration of this series. Your intonation and concise description along with the vintage videos makes this series a must have Bill Morlitz

👍Great history on film. Thank you. Interesting way of life & travel.

[@garryferrington811]

It's now hard to believe these things, or this way of life, ever existed. These films have become records.

[@jessyoungquest]

I sure do now these rails so well-- dig the Hudson @ 4:39 in Mahopac-- My pa used this line to work in N.Y.C. back in 48-50, from Yorktown--thanks for the vid--

[@stevew270]

It's funny as well because the car in the shot before that was a Hudson automobile sitting beside the box car.

Fred Thompson america is not the same. i wonder what it would have been like if the interstates werent built but we nationalized or upgraded are railroads

[@davehibbs9111]

I Remember You!

[@drewrobinson5153]

where do we find the rest of the video? By the way, it's pronounced "PUTT" (as in Putnam County), not "Put" (as in "put it down"). Also, that New Haven yard served by the O&W was called "Maybrook", not "Mayfield". Thanks for the great footage - I grew up in Yorktown Heights, and barely remember the by-then freight-only tracks of the NYC Putnam Division through Mahopac, Carmel and Brewster before they were all torn out by the early 70s. What a shame, as the area could certainly use the service now!

[@GreenFrogVideos]

Thanks for watching and for the corrections - you can purchase the complete video on DVD and BLURAY here - www.greenfrog.com/PostwarSteam4_BluRay.shtml

[@K4JW]

Cool!

[@damonm7541]

Passenger trains running in heavy snow. Seems nowadays, service would be cancelled. Can someone offer an explanation why rail service would be less reliable today, other than the obvious conclusion about the general decline in fortitude of modern America?

[@johnnyd63]

The general decline seems like the correct answer.

[@phillipbonner5215]

I have a question why do steam locomotives sometimes blow black smoke and sometimes not

[@ericdumptee9084]

it all has to do with the firing (the fire) used to heat up the water to make steam. Sometimes the fireman wll add more coal (or fuel oil if its an injected type) and initially smoke will be produced until the fire settles down..alot of smoke means waste...(poor burning)...most railroads in those days wanted their steam engines to operate with a slight 'smudge"

[@phillipbonner5215]

eric dumptee thank you I appreciate your info

[@redbarnz]

Times change, folks. That is life....

[@alcopower5710]

True......not always for the better though
