- Purchase a complete DVD or Bluray set of this program at www.greenfrog.com
A giant leap in quality, see all of the original 16mm Film quality, sharpness, brightness, and color on this BluRay!
This two disc set is a continuation of NYC Volume-1 starting in the summer of 1963. The transition to the Cigar Band Herald is quite evident. New jumbo Hi-Cube cars appear (for the auto industry) as well as piggyback service with highway trailers on flat cars.
You'll see action on the Toledo Division, the Electric Division, between New York's Grand Central Station and Harman, as well as other locations. Also covered are the RDC Jet Trials, where jet aircraft engines are mounted on an RDC car!
Mixed in with all this action is the continuing regular freight and passenger fleets, mile long trains of new auto loadings, as well as new second generation motive power.
We finally arrive at the Penn-Central merger. We'll see a few early views of merged power equipment, not yet revealing the demise of the mighty water level route.
From the Camera of Emery Gulash
Approx. Run Time: Disc1 - 84 Minutes--Disc2 - 85 Minutes
Bonus: 18 minute movie of Cutting Room Scenes never shown!

I loved a trip down memory lane. Thanks.
Excellent. Great video plus worth the price just for the music.
Great video and awesome footage!
Railroading at its finest!
The NY Central was just that.
This is absolutely fantastic
Thanks very much, we are glad that you enjoyed the footage!
@@GreenFrogVideos Fantastic footage, thank you and subscribed!
The 16mm film is very nice, love the look...
Thanks for the vid... Moses
Jazz, and old diesel locomotives!!! wow!
Emery shot great footage of a bygone era.
Great video, AWESOME MUSIC!
I can't get over how beautiful these restorations are. I also love how the 16fps speed lends a kind of dreamlike quality to these days gone by. Makes me want to dust off my Bolex and shoot some film.
These are really impressive footage from the time. This powered by jet engines railcar reminds me of a similar test drive from the 20s in Germany. Since one had a lightweight motor coach equipped with an aircraft engine. What shocks me is the bad condition of the tracks. That it did not come to big accidents is surprising me.
Regards from Germany.
Very good !
0:21 That's sort of a spectacular opening to a switcher, haha
Neat video
Big News There's Gonna Be A 2 40 Min. DVD set of the circus, & the railroads.
I would've loved to see one of those RDC jets. That first shot man, it was flying! (Pun intended)
Sad that they couldn't save a single Hudson Steam locomotive.
vector6977 they didn't save a New York Central Hudson but they saved a C&O and Santa Fe
vector6977 and I think two CPR Hudsons.
NYC wouldn't sell any to anyone besides a scrap dealer, only a Mohawk is left because it was hidden until after NYC could care about it's image.
There is a nonprofit organization that is going to rebuild a Hudson from scratch by using original blueprints like the PRR t1 5555 being rebuts by the t1 trust organization
I love Big Band music.
Plus newer Footage of the M497 Preserved at The Elkhart, Indiana.
1:51 that has to be terryfying
John Alexander .about 180 feet at that point.
Wow what the heck
like the music and footage. Do you have any Hudson locomotive tapes?
:) :) :)
Like to see the sreamline Hudson vidio up graded to HD.
Before there was Amtrak or Metro-North.
Wow thats a high bridge at 1:51. What location is that?
K&L Trainz .Poughkeepsie ny. Now it's a pedestrian bridge. Last train may 1974.
They put jets on a fucking train. Wow.
Tully Slim OUI Monsieur!... but an obvious error was made in not providing lifting-planes ('wings') to that choo-choo!
+John Tully and even crazier, they tested it on jointed rail!
stevelerro They craved to hear that 'clickety-clack.'
+Amélie Renoncule Yeah. Would've worked better if they tested it on the NEC. Those lines were BUILT for high speeds since the 30s!
I like trains
The Ohio State Ltd. ran from Cincinnati to New York, not St. Louis to New York.
That's correct, however, there were thru sleepers from STL to NYC via B&O Nos 1 & 2 via CUT.
Found it later in the Video, thanks. Was this ever used or just some test ride?
Elwood Blues Test ride.
You guys need to change the end of you videos already, there's no apostrophe in "videos"!
I remember the old New York Central railroad when they had the
lightening scheme on its Diesel engines in the late 1950's when
I lived in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area. The ugly cheap cigar band
and newer oval the New York Central went to in the very late 1950's/very early 1960's was the beginning of the downfall for
the New York Central railroad. The lightening stripe scheme on
the New York Central diesels is and was much better looking.
I used to watch the New York Central trains both freight & passenger when I lived in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area when I
would go to Buffalo Central Terminal with my late parents and when
I lived in the Town of Tonawanda, just North of Buffalo.
What was your train to watch
That bridge at 1:51, is it still in use?
What is the name of that railway station @0:52? I think it is an abandoned one but not sure where ....
+MixMoose Thats the old Michigan Central station, been abandoned for a while now, wasn't abandoned then
2:00 insane in todays world to see this train at this speed with this car crossing right there no lights or barriers either
I love trains! I love trains! I love trains! Anybody know I love trains?
Did you see the car fly past in front of one of the trains? XD
what's the music?
2:27 LOL
What the hell happened to the music in the beginning I really like it
Due to TH-cam Copyright restrictions we had to remove music on a number of our older programs, this is only on TH-cam, if you purchase the full program it still has the music intro! Thanks for watching.
am love m479 train
What kind of music is this?
Were those jet engine from a B-47 or B-52?
What is that for a car at 02:29, with the strange red thing ob the roof?
Thanks for the information
That is a special Test RDC Budd car, specially modified for Jet Engines, those are Jet engines on the roof.
Lots of experimentation back in the 50s & 60s with the U.S. transportation industry (cars & Trains)

Elwood Blues Love the two old guys reaction.
It's a jet.
You can also see jets at 1:15
HIGH BALL,,,ALL CLEAR🚥🚦
Does anyone know the song playing? I did Shazam and SoundHound and neither one knew what it was.
No, but it soulds like it might be something Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey did
Why does the video sounds just suddenly cut?
We had to remove the music in the intro due to TH-cam Copyright, the audio picks up again after the intro. The Discs we sell have the Full music on the intros!
@@GreenFrogVideos Ah I see! I saw this video when I was about 10 in 2012 and have been searching for it since!
Are these movies shot by Ed Beckwith?
These 16mm Films were shot by Emery Gulash

rocket central
What iz that loko at 1:45 mins
Is it an R2 electric?
WHOOPS! At 00:18 seconds they slipped in a B&O passenger train. And at 00:30 seconds a C&O passenger train makes a brief appearance! And there's more. OK by me, but I believe it's called a "NYC Odyessy". LOL!
Rusty Shackleford It's not impossible that the B&O and C&O had trackage rights on the NYC or had to detour over the NYC.
"Remastered" huh ? Large segment of missing audio and narration . Liked the film footage .

Just asking how did that jet powered railcar work out? I had heard it blew up and there wasn't a whole lot left of it or the guy that was running it. Except a piece here and a piece there. Is that true? Or a wives tale. Just asking. Have a great day everyone.
We have not heard either way what happened to this thing, not very practical though of course, sure they just gave up on it fairly quickly!
The M-497 was a built as a test vehicle to demonstrate the potential of high speed transport on existing railroad. The runs and tests were extremely successful generating much data referred to world wide to this day in the study and implementation of high speed rail networks. The attained speed of 183.85 mph in 1966 still stands as a Guinness speed record for self powered rail vehicles to his day. D.C. Wetzel was the engineer on the runs and on some of the runs the president of the railroad Al Perlman was in the other seat. The 497 was returned to commuter service after removal of the test equipment and jet engines and was later scrapped by Metro North. Your story is bizarre, where did you get that version of events?
If only they saved the hudsons
Goofy aah jet train
