    The Lehigh Valley once roared past my childhood backyard in Clark, NJ. I witnessed the final days of the ALCO Cab diesels [PA+FA] on fast freights and doing local factory switching off the mainline. The Oak Island to South Plainfield weekday Locals were handled by EMD or Baldwin switchers. However the weekend freight locals sometimes had ALCO RS-3, FA-1s, or PA-2 doing the honors. The switch overs on the West/East mainline in Clark are now long removed. The Hyatt Roller Bearing and National Gypsum Paper Companies have become a golf course & a shopping strip mall. Thank you to all those who recorded videos of the Valley in action!

    Thanks for sharing. I got to see the LV come through Victor and Mendon in the late 60s

    My grandfather worked in the roundhouse in Sayre for the Buffalo division until his death around 59. This is cool.

    Wish we still had full crews. Damned deregulation. Only the suits benefited as we can see now. Now it's six weeks at Choo-Choo University and PRESTO!!! Instant conductor/switch foreman.

    The whole area is a ghetto now days because of all the main companys leaving, people ruin those nice towns by throwing garbage everywhere.

    The full crew laws were a joke, railroad welfare! I went to work for the PC NJ Div. Nov '74 as a student engineer, the company, and I, didn't like the term fireman. I earned and learned, I didn't just sit there and go for a train ride. One trainman with a radio was all that was needed for switching. A lot of this should have been done away with back in the 50's with CTC and dynamic brakes in use. Safety had nothing to do with as you can see today. In order for the UTU to survive, they have to scab on us engineers, ride our productivity coattails so they go along for the ride. I retired Jan 2011 after 36 years of engine service, and don't miss it one little bit.

      Kinda a tall order only even for the best switchmen / hogger with just two men on board with 13k on your back. I think remote controlled packs and the like came from this thinking straight away - what you said about extra crew not needed. Selling your own brothers down the sloshing toilets
