    Hey, I liked it all... love railroading and railroading history... the old rolling stock was quite cool, that old diner car and the caboose... cabooses were actually really cool... I seen the inside of a fully functional caboose once... yeah, they are like RVs on rails... the Crain truck looked like an old international, perhaps early to mid 1940s... I believe it would have been diesel powered, but don't quote me on that... the crain was widely used on the railroad, commonly used to rerail rolling stock that had derailed... was also used to hoist rail equipment and materials onto flat cars... they were quite common in the world War 2 era...
    Anyway, nice video, y'all take care and God bless...

    I can't believe I missed this one, everything about this video is awesome.
    Those two vans, the Grumman and utilimaster. Those are the body companies that manufactured the bodies. The Grumman looks like an old GM P chassis, and the utilimaster is most likely a Ford Chassis.
    Also that crane at the end is really cool. With chain drive they still had a drive shaft and rear differential, but they mounted the differential to the frame because they didn't have universal joint technology yet to allow the axle to move up and down with the suspension. By having a solid mounted rear differential, the chains allow the rear axle to move up and down

    Fun fact: this car (the dining car) plus one other let loose and crossed the highway in 2017. No one is sure how it happened but they were partially obstructing the highway. One car was removed but this car was left behind. They were originally on the section of track with the cars/ engines from your previous video.

    JP, a Diamond in railroad terms is where one set of tracks cross another set of tracks. What you had there was a Y, pronounced WHY, A Y is used for turning around an engine where there was no roundhouse.

    diamonds and wyes are two entirely different things: diamonds are simply crossings by two lines, the rail crossing itself forming a diamond shape. a wye is more than just for turning trains around, it’s also frequently a convergence of a branch line allowing traffic to go in either direction onto the mainline. this is the case in Boston where the connection is used to turn Amtrak trains as well as bring local fertilizer trains off of the MBTA Old Colony Line onto the MBTA Fairmont Line so they can be interchanged by CSX to head out west

    Hey JP - Great video! I live in the area and this is a very cool capture of the artifacts!! Just a bit of info on the dining car, it was involved in a Runaway Train incident on Nov. 11, 2017!! The spot where it sits is where it landed after the event. The CACV Railroad was moving around some of the historic equipment on the WYE, when it and a mail car broke loose from the rest of the cars, rolled about 1/4 mile, crossed the road (cutting its way thru the asphalt) and stopping where it sits today. The railcar was pulled back across the road. They left the dining car where it sits. It was interesting when it happened to say the least. All the tracks in your video were used sporadically up until 2017. The GG1's sat along the NS mainline for years, but NS forced CACV to move them in 2014, to their hidden location today. There is a video posted showing the 2014 move of the GG1's. Search Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley GG1 Move to find the vid. PS- my favorite artifact from there is the dining car!!!

    Howdy...looks like that crane truck is a MACK, 1930s, they made a lot of chain drive trucks. VERY reliable, but if you had to change that inner tire on the dually rears you had your work cut out for you.
    Chain drives were very reliable, they had them going back to at least the 19teens. Not a high speed drive train, obviously, but could be very powerful. The earlier ones had solid rubber tires!

    The crane you showed has a folding boom that allowed it to be driven down the road from one place to another. I remember seeing one of those type cranes once when I was a kid. They were very top heavy and the truck didn't go very fast, but once they got where they were going, the crane was very efficient. Stabilizers were spread manually by the truck driver/crane operator to keep it stable.

    Great video! But a Wye (pronounced "Y") is not the same as a diamond. The Wye is used to either turn engines or give access to a branch line from two opposite directions.
    Diamonds you'll find at junctions of different railroads. Most of them in the past had towers with operators nearby to control the flow of traffic across the diamond. The tower I worked at in Columbus, OH had tracks laid like a # sign. Two mainlines for CSX running North/South and two mainlines for Norfolk Southern going East/West.

      Most definitely. I've seen photos of some converted ones repurposed as man caves and tiny homes.

    Hey great video. I love your aerial footage in this video. I wish I knew you collected insulators. My uncle had worked for Met Ed his whole life and he had a huge collection of them in several colors. My mother in law used them as little bird baths and feeders. The birds loved them. When she passed they got into a bidding war over them at auction. We auctioned most of her things off. It was to overwhelming for her 2 sons to start to go thru her collections. They went for good money. My uncles also got sold in auction when he passed. They were neat when the sun shined thru them. This is the kind of videos you do very well. It's a shame for that car just sitting there rotting away. Loved the train sound to. Take care and thank you for the videos. I hope your back to normal after your covid illness.

      I started collecting them 2 or 3 yrs ago. The blue ones are my favorite and I repurposed a few of them into lights. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Since retiring from the railroad, I wasn't fully aware that I'm now one of these relics.

      I always known it as a "wye": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wye_(rail) but called it a diamond for the shape of it. I realized a "diamond" has its own technical definition.

    Very much enjoyed this video. Nice area, not much rail history but much more than in Wilkes Barre which had much and destroyed.The city had a great rail yard. Not surprised they destroy instead of reconstruct.The Irem Temple was supposed to be renovated some work started but now on hold.

    Superbly respectful post. In Cranbrook, Southeast BC 🇨🇦 a railway-&-more museum has compete, restored train sets late-1800s to 1950s, Canadian & Canada-US. Visit Cranbrook History Centre online.

    Very cool! I think I will have to say that the dining car is my favorite, but I do love that caboose. I always wonder what happened and what the story was behind why they were just left in that particular place, never to run again (like you mentioned about the crane). The pile of railroad spikes was a fun find too, I have some of those hanging on my garden shed. Everything was so interesting JP, thank you so much, great video!

      They each have a story to tell. Wish we could hear about their former lives.
