Thank you for your very kind words. I wasn't born yet when the last engine change happened. So up until that day, my "memories" all came from watching various videos on TH-cam from the 80s and years prior. My camera's battery isn't invincible, but I made sure beyond anything else, I captured the engine change to the best of my ability. Now I can "join" those who took those videos from the 80s and years prior. I also imagine the swap was faster back then for two reasons. One, it was common place, therefore the crews were more used to it. Also, it was part of the everyday commute and not excursions. I doubt many regular commuters would be thrilled with a 30+ minute engine change. For instance, Amtrak's Pennsylvanian does its change in Philly in about 10-15 minutes. So I think it has a lot to do with the occasion and frequency. Thanks again for chiming in, I appreciate it.
You know what? At first, I actually didn't like the Disco Stripe Scheme AT ALL on 4640. Mostly because of how it's shaped. But it eventually grew on me, the horn probably didn't hurt either. Thanks for the compliment. I tried to capture the different aspects of the engine change to the best of my ability on my camera's tiny, but mighty battery life. I thought about all of the engine change videos from the 70s & 80s I'd watch on TH-cam when I was capturing it. I knew I was capturing history in real time. So that, combined with my creativity & SEO knowledge, led to this. Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you on behalf of all of those who could not be there in person. Saw this process many, many times with Gs and Es...but it was A LOT faster then.

4640 looks awesome in its retro NJT colors; excellent catching and editing of the engine swap, thank you for sharing.

So a lot of companies are slowly going out of business, giving up routes to NJT
That is cool.
Thanks, glad you like it.
