Thank you for posting this video. I have been riding on the Strasburg Railroad since I was a young lad. My earliest memories are from the early 1960s. These images brought it all back.
Thanks for posting these amazing films. The story of this "Little Railroad That Could" is an amazing testament to the vision of the men and women who brought the line back to life more than 60 years ago. I just visited Strasburg this past weekend and am amazed at this little railroad's progress over the years. Bravo!
My grandparents lived literally 5miles from strasburg...my first ride was just AFTER these films around 1965. I always wanted to see how the earliest operations looked, and i had always heard about the early (now gone) centercabs they used before they got the ex-pennsy 44 tonner. Really great stuff...gotta love doing a slow "roll-by" flying switch at Lehmans Place Junction.

So this is how it all began over there.
