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

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

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!

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 Жыл бұрын
The general decline seems like the correct answer.

I have a question why do steam locomotives sometimes blow black smoke and sometimes not
@ericdumptee90846 жыл бұрын
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"
