I visited this place back in August 2022, and saw NKP 757 in Mad River in October 2021.

Oh my goodness. Haven’t seen this footage in 16 years. Thank you so much for sharing this video

[@markcole7938]

This was actually available for purchase on DVD direct from Morry Farcus (of JMJ Productions) as late as 2016.

Hybrid of the egg and 80s livery on 90. I love it!

[@gideonstupke2257]

I wish I knew how to restore footage!!! I'd love to restore all of this footage, so it can still be enjoyed

Goodness greif to see 4800 in such beautiful condition and then seeing her now, her paint is all faded and nearly turned fully grey. There’s rust holes and moss growing and even her number plates are fogged up is just sad to see Edit: But seeing 7312 and 1223 working is great. I really would wanna see 1223 run again but the museum she loves at are very certain on having her just sit on static display.

NKP 757 is not at the museum now, looks strange with Cherry Hill station bare with no farm stands around it

Nice Show but Where’s the CN 89 and PRR 7002?

[@brianfalzon6739]

That CN 5 Chime on 31 sounds like GTW 4070, NKP 587 and CN 3254!

[@DLTBerkshire]

Actually, 31’s whistle sounds almost identical to Sierra Railway 28’s cannonball whistle. If you were this footage & any video with Sierra 28 with her cannonball whistle. You can easily tell.

I recognise that narrator's voice

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

He sounds quite familiar. Didn’t he narrate southern 4501, 722 and 630?? Not Eric Greene.
