Awesome videos with my favourite trains!

None of those engines had the big yellow P&LE letters on the side .

Is that you take is video in the 80s?

I'm amazed there wasn't smoke pouring out of the overtaxed traction motors after that!

i should have said my mom family is from campbell ohio and grew up ,up the street from sheet and tube and now im a owner operaor steel hauler for the last 13 years

What in the name of God is that abomination at the beginning of the video? Did they just weld the nose of a locomotive the the back of a passanger car?

Back then trains this big was seen as an abnormal experiment that wouldn't fly. Thanks to piss schedule railroading it's the norm now to save the CEOs extra bucks at the expense of everyone below them

Ah the Amtrak's DMUs. So good that the they had to handicap them to meet regulstions. Now were runninf loco hauled trains with 3 coaches when 3 of those DMUs could serve the same job ehile being cheaper, faster, and more efficient 😊

This is where Struthers, Campbell and Lowellville meet. This is not Youngstown. Youngstown is a few miles west of here. I know because i grew up here.

Still very much the Rainbow fleet during this time

Crazy Video...

Great video. Really shows how everything worked when this place was still operational.

A train kid’s dream environment

Great job. Not! Just because it’s moving that tonnage doesn’t mean it should and for that amount of time. Your burning the goddamn traction motors out tards.

Actually, there are six gated doors linked together in parallel to allow them act as a 3-set units. It's a common misunderstood detail we in model railroading make too.

Thanks for posting this. Vert few people captured GG1s on videotape.

This was during the Catenary upgrade on the Hell Gate Line.

6:21 CSX Upside-down.

I get a weird satisfaction seeing the wheels smash that stuff.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you for capturing this amazing footage !

Nothing beats the sound of those EMD prime movers!

And to think it's ALL gone now...

I didn't know that the 614 could move so slow lol! Ross's wife must have been at the stick 😆

Dude what was that thing right at the beginning

My Father helped refurbish this train. He is part of the trains amazing historical history and resting place at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore Md.

No matter how hard they try you can never copy the ‘splendor’ of the original GG1’s.

1:48 where is this?

It’s crazy to think that during this period there were locomotives built in the 1930s and 1940s that were still in Amtrak service, and some of the other locomotives would remain in service until the mid 2000s. Half a century of technological advancements in one power pool. Granted that’s not actually that unusual when you consider original SD40s are over 50 years old, and GP7/9s are still in service some 70 years after they were introduced. But it’s still strange when you consider this was the pinnacle of American passenger service at the time.

Thank you for sharing.👍

What locomotive is at at beginning? Just Curious.

Y did I see a venture coach being pulled by 2 gg1s???

Really telling that even in 1980, after enough mergers and corporate woopa-doops to make your head spin, the Gs were still just too reliable to take out of service. If not for all the frame cracking and the super-toxic transformer coolant (mm, delicious Pyranol) I reckon the old gals might've even lived to see service in the new millennium. Who knows, right? Cheers to the intrepid uploader--80s video equipment was no joke.

Good luck with your video I also do content like that 🥰

I never realized they used livestock cars into the 80s

As a boy I use to enjoy the names given to the number trains.

I was there in June of 80 just shy of my 15th b day. We took a regional down from Springfield to New haven E8s F40s and E60s in motor storage. Budd cars back, and the old Roger Williams was there in Springfield when we got back.

I. From. U. Town. This. I'd. Good to. See. At. 71. Jaw

This video was 2009

The amp gauges goes into the red, stays a second, the orange light comes on, and the engine load backs off... Wheel slip?

Why stress that SD18 so much ?? Look at the amp meter and slippage. Jeez ! , at least put one on the rear to help shove it up the grade. Let's do the math here 4,250 tons = 8,500,000 lbs , that's a bit much for one 1,800 hp SD18 Locomotive.

Nice to see a video of the dynamic and auto brakes (incl bail-off on the ind. brake) in action on a real locomotive… I was curious about the downhill braking process- thanks for posting this. 👍👍

If you watch in faster time lapse mode, you can actually see the car springing back upward as the weight inside is emptied.

nice

Pure GOLD footage here.
