I really watching this video! Thank you for sharing it. It would have been great to be able to ride those trolley lines in NYC!

The era when you dressed up to go downtown and didn't fear for your safety. A different world, a different time and, in some respects, a better time.

Great movie! I'm 74 and I remember my Grandfather telling me about the B&A and WB&A electrics. He said there was an area they ran parallel and they would race each other. This is the first movie coverage I've seen. In the beginning of the video was that B&O Camden Station or Calvert Station? Did the B&A service that station?

What was "BETHLEHEM B-E DAY"? Unusual seeing a G-motor with both pans up.

Sure wish I had been there for the convention!

I remember laying in my bed and hearing my parents saying that we would no longer hear the passing street car, because buses were taking over. I never heard another streetcar after that night. Oh, well.

My Father loved the Laurel Line. It was a favorite of his glory days stories. This bit of footage let me know a little bit more about him. Loved seeing the brakemen, porters, switchers, engineer, water towers. The settings were fabulous. Thank you for preserving the heritage.

Sucks there’s no sound to WOV 1. Last ran in 1985 iirc

That B&H footage is GOLD!

This is great stuff! Love the EL Geep!

1:14 Oh the old Sparta District... how much i miss it. next year will be 40 years since abandonment. 2:21 oh hey look its my home

The East Broad Top Railroad back in 1960.

Could i use some of the RTG footage for a video? This is probably one of the only videos to have footage of an RTG running.

F. Axtelll Kramer was my chemistry teacher at Meramec Community College.

absolutely mint condition

Would give anything to have been able to see Johnstown's trolleys in their day. Thanks for posting!

Still nice, too bad about that counter strip though!

That 1st N&W freight must've been lighter tonnage as no Y6 helper up front. Just A class 1221 w/Y6b 2177 pushing in back. These reels are fabulous!

Great video, the Cleveland portion is priceless!

Thanks for posting this !!!!!

The trolley right-of-way still exists through Fairmount Park, without tracks or wires. The trolley right--of-way without tracks or wires is still on the Strawberry Mansion bridge over the Schuylkill River. The car barn building still exists. The cars were sold for scrap in an auction when the line was abandoned. How sad, but it could be rebuilt if there was funding some day. At 80 years old, I won't live to see it.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting. My dad would have loved the Fairmount Park trolley films. He used to tell me about it all the time.

475 looks like Casey Jr.

Still in GM&O colors. Heck most of the GM&O fleet left the property in 80s still wearing GM&O colors. ICG wasn't in any big rush to repaint and it made trips down to Homewood Illinois interesting.

9:49 to 10:11 is at Washington Crossing NJ on Belvedere branch of PRR. Doodlebug is facing south towards Trenton NJ. Washington Crossing PA is on opposite shore of the river reached via the bridge in the video which is still there. Track was lifted in late 70’s by Conrail. Now walking path.

Do you have any old train films from Indiana?

The footage is absolutely fantastic. The soundtrack is torturously bad. It almost spoils the video.

Great stuff! The fact the Red Line in Cleveland was operating to W 117th dates this to mid-August 1955.

Excellent footage, very crisp and clean.

So much variety we miss now!

7:50 wheres that?

What a fantastic video of my favorite railroad set in the beautiful Hudson River Valley. I wished I could have been alive to have experienced this in person!

Do any films in your archive have live sound?

Interesting seeing that freight cars being shoved onto the SS Spartan probably by the C&O brakemen using only hand signals instead of a radio to control the movement. Nice shot of traveling over the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co. trackage at 9:27. Thanks for sharing!

Another great video! I wish I would have been around to experience the North Shore Line, the streamliners of that era etc.

This footage is STUNNING! Please post more!

I am enjoying the new videos you are posting! thank you so much!

Thank you for this great video. I'm modeling Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. And it's awesome to see video of the bridges between 30th & Broad Street Station.

Great video!

Great video. Thank you.

Hey please don’t list your videos as made for kids. No kid is watching the 1950s 20th century limited 50th anniversary. The reason is because it is much harder to save and share videos for the people who really enjoy your videos the rail fans. Thanks!

its quite interesting how some people still had Ford Model T's

This video is very special. Towards the end we see the streetcar #26, the Red Rocket, make it's way through Edgemere and Fort Howard towards Bay Shore Park - a Trolley Amusement Park that ceased operations in the 40s. The former amusement park is now the site of North Point State Park, many features (including the trolley station) are still there.

yes, several superior old moments to be seen and enjoyed here

When you see trolleys painted in National City Lines colors you know the end is nigh for all the trolley lines within the city and its environs. 😢

Love dem PCC’s! PWG

VERY nice color movies!

9:50 where is that location? You can see how the alignment was shifted to the left.

There is also a stretch on the WMRY

It is the Ma & Pa RR and it shows how the ROW twisted and turned
