Cool! My grandpa was an engineer on the Erie RR and I have a pic of him in front of a steam locomotive in his coveralls. He later was an engineer on the GP engines. We lived in Paterson, just off of Union Ave., till I was eight, then we mover to Oakland, NJ. Good Times! Now that I’m 74, this made me smile.... Thanks for the video!
Take heart, you published this in 2014, i have just watched it in 2021, wow an historical documentary. Thankyou for filming and sharing. People will enjoy this for years.
Thank for sharing a great video. Just love that street action with the old engines showing the clowns in the trucks and other drivers who's boss. It's nice knowing there are people interested in preserving this unique U34CH. I presume U34CH's once ruled the line now operated by those GP/F40PH's and that the FA in Passaic came via the Long Island RR.
+713davidh42 Yup, the FA is indeed a former LIRR unit. I can only imagine how much different NJT was back then with all of the U-boats running around. I was only 2 years old when they were retired, so I never even had a chance to see them in action.
Thank You for this Wonderfull Video All you folk's get to places to where I can not travel to any more. So you are my Eyes and ears that travel Around the world Thank June 23, 2017
Funny ! I noticed that the pavement between the rails had big holes at 17:35, and when I went on Google Earth on the same place, workers on the picture were reparing it ! Nice video ! On Google Earth we can see that this place was an industrial area, there are many branches further, abandoned and cut, leading to old closed factories. Jacques, from France.
Wow! Great video and great description! Lots of maneuvering and switching down some side tracks that looked abandoned. I love urban exploration, and trains, and older forgotten sections of tracks like this that are rarely used. Thank you for filming and posting!
It is an incredible sight. Just a shame that this is the only example of street running for a normal railroad in New Jersey, and this line hasn't been used at all in the two years since this day.
GenesisSanctuary it is sad, even in Canada here, many of the spurs are gone now...would of been soo cool to see many different trains working...and to see them doing what they do best!
Good video. It is good to see stuff like this recorded, as it is a rare and probably final event. Despite the walking pace of it all, I watched it and enjoyed seeing history recorded.
Many, MANY years ago, at like 5 or 6 yrs. of age, I clearly remember riding in my father's '35' Hudson, on that street, and I can still see, in my mind's eye, the back end of a Vanderbilt tender, as my father followed it down the street. We had just crossed the river and where the street and tracks combined, we fell in behind the Vanderbilt equipped engine. Growing up in Riverside, very near the River Street station, Paterson, at the end of steam, I was sort of familiar with ERIE steamers, even at my age then. Thanks for the memories.
I remember that section of rack in the 1940's with Erie steam switchers going down the road and across that trestle. As I look at that trestle it must have been repaired. If my memory serves me correctly the old structure was made entirely of wood.
I love these videos of trains passing through cities etc,at street level, obviously the routes established many years ago, it just looks like wow! so unusual to us UK dwelers
Don the reason we don't see street running here in the UK anymore is all thanks to stupid "health & safety" rules. The thought of a man walking down the middle of the road in front of a big engine/train with just a flag would give them nightmares! The only street running standard gauge line left from memory is the Weymouth Quay Branch, and even that is closed. The closest you get is a short section on the Welsh Highland Railway in Porthmadog.
Street running is neat. I ran trains in the street in Noblesville, Indiana for the Indiana Transportation Museum in the early 2000's. Street running has become unpopular also because the salt used to melt icw & snow sped up deterioration of the bases of the rails, requiring that they be replaced more frequently. The roads also kept moisture around the ties, causing them to deteriorate more quickly.
Actually, I rather appreciated the orange rubbish truck in the video. It really gave scale to the size of the old ALCO locomotive. It also adds an element of what the locomotive crew had to go through to get to where they wanted to be. It was a great video.
Since this video still gets a lot of attention, here's an update on the status of this line: The New York & Greenwood Lake Railway has filed for bankruptcy, and the city of Passaic is preparing to have the tracks ripped up so as to redevelop the area. All of the equipment left behind at the facility is being gathered up and prepared for transport up the line to the NJT interchange in Garfield. This will be the final movement along the Dundee spur before it is completely abandoned, and the move is expected to take place sometime next week pending inspection by NJT. The equipment will then be brought to the NYSW PC Yard in Saddle Brook to be stored until a buyer is found. As for 3372, not much has changed, sadly. It's still at the URHS facility in Boonton, and it seems like there's no hope in restoring it.
@Oliver Caguia I'll try to get out and film the last run over Monroe Street. Unfortunately, I missed out on seeing the equipment being pulled from the Passaic facility because I was getting over a cold.
They should have run that collection cars and locos back through the main street of town just to mess with people.......really enjoyed this , thanks for posting
Wow lots of railfan around in this video. Especially enjoyed the guy standing on the roof of his car snapping some video action in the second clip. Nice Video!
I grew up in Passaic, and we had bragging rights to three railroads in the city. There was the Erie Mainline, The Lackawanna and that Dundee Spur belonged to the Susquehanna. That spur served several big factories in Passaic Manhattan Rubber and Okonite. I was in Passaic two years ago and I drove over to 4th street to check out the collection and I was very disappointed in how they are being stored.
Is it just me, or do those old F-units just look amazing? They may be old and lack the power of modern locomotives, but damn did they have a certain class about them.
WiredrawnMurder45 No I agree with you they are quite cool.The DM&E line used to use one for shunting train cars from Rochester, MN to Utica, MN. But when Canadian Pacific bought the line they just scrapped it
I am a trucker that loves all freight machines(trucks and trains) and i own 2 original operators manuals from 1949 and 1951 for f7 locomotives. Love them they were amazing machines. And the thought that the very manual i am holding probably trained many crewman is really amazing 😁
Great video. Wife is from Garfield and it was good to see the train going down Monroe St. and then over the Passaic River. I went to Google Maps and checked out the location. From the sat view at 6th and South in Passaic you can still see all the rolling stock just about where they left it. Check it out if you are interested.
Great video! I enjoyed seeing the U34CH, and I hope they restore it back to operating condition. Equally impressive is the ALCO Century. I hope they plan on fixing/restoring the high hood GP9 as well as the FA-1. Subscribed.
Thanks! I also hope to see the U34CH restored in the hopefully near future. Unfortunately, I have no idea what's going to end up happening with the rest of the equipment stored in Passaic. It would be great to see them saved, but who knows.
going through a neighborhood like that - I can just imagine if one of the train crew lived in one of those houses. Parking the engine outside his house for lunch.
I can imagine when #19 coupled to the U-Boat, waking up the U-Boat from hibernation and #19 screaming, "ON YOUR WHEELS UNIT, WE ARE LEAVING!" Also, I seriously can't tell the difference between a C36-7 and that U34CH. Maybe the dynamic brake grids on the C36-7 would give it away.
Love those Alcos. Don't get to see many of them, especially in that good of condition. Looks like this railroad does a good job keeping them maintained.
Great video, 2nd time watching...The traffic after you pick up the consist looked like they wanted to bust past you...If that were done around here they'd have had about 20 cops....
Looking at the condition of some of the track, makes me wonder why they would risk such a valuable engine, 'specially gave me a heart attack going over that trestle. And judging by the way the consist creaked and groaned after hook-up it must have been in storage for quite a very long time. But all in all a great post.
pretty funny to see a century series rescuing a universal series, but god do i love those old u-boats. the centurys are probably going to love up to their name at this point lol
And that’s where those cars sit until this day. I went exploring up in there back in 2018, and filmed and got photos. The guys who work in the garage back there spoke very broken English but was telling me those locomotive are suppose to be restored or something.
I really liked the guy with the Stetson , especially when he sat in the window of the old loco , he really looked the part of a cowboy on his old workhorse. And now I know that the bellsound used to come from a real bell , its probably done electrical now a days

@@GenesisSanctuary If the Bergen Light Rail gets built won't they need this track? I may have myself in the wrong area also. I wuold think that they would keep them for the revitalaztion of industry there.
This loco reminds me of my local town fire trucks that still use a bell while moving through traffic. Our fire trucks use a electric siren, but most of the time they use the bell as there isn't much traffic in the area.
16:11 I love how there's six million tons of steel straddling the entire width of the road and Garth Brooks there still deems it necessary to hold his stop sign hand up to the traffic!
Thanks for uploading - this was fascinating. I also appriciate you not editing this and not adding stupid music. I make a few films myself, so I understand how difficult it is to capture footage this good. Also, very rarely do I find people pay proper attention to sound. If most people filmed this all they would get would be wind buffeting on the mikes. Your sound here is almost perfect. Great job!
Truck got in the way of the best bit of the recce/pioneer mission ! Driver's mate looks like Lemme (from motorhead) crossed with Albert King, lol. That train looks like a zombie, gypsy ghost train, amazing relics. This is real Americana train-porn. thanks for post, peace
Even has an old LIRR power-pack in the mix of engines....and LOL at 12:38, the Signal Maintainer scratching his back with a wood wedge before he gets to work.
I could see how dangerous that could be for a rail fan taking pictures getting on the other tracks while it's stopped the other train passes at high speed.
