- Two head end rides from the films of Red Moser. First, a trip from Philadelphia to Newark on the Crusader service in July 1975, then a Sunday trip to Philadelphia and return to Reading on the Sunday before passenger service ended for good on June 30, 1981.

I grew up in North Philly in the 70's and I remember watching the RDC's run past East Falls housing projects at speed headed towards the Reading Terminal, When I was 14 a relative of mine arraigned a ride along in the cab of a 3 unit RDC run from the East Falls station into downtown and into the Terminal , A as kid from the hood this was the treat of a lifetime !!!!!
I grew up in Logan North Philly, in the 70s and early 80s, and I loved watching the RDC and Reading freight trains go past Logan Station, and at Newtown junction. Now only memoirs remain.
These were my favorite NJ Transit trains!
I’m glad someone had the foresight to film these trips.
I remember my first ride from Pottsville to Reading Terminal around 1978 as a 10 year old.
Thank you for that look at history.
Good video, of those sea shore type Budd cars.👍🤠
See my PRSL video for RDC action including Wildwood.
Awesome footage! I grew up in Belle Mead and would often see the Budds drop off passengers in the evening. I've never found any video of that station online, but hope to someday.
Great video. I have 3 Budd cars I run on my HO train platform Into N.Wildwood station😊
Kinda sad to watch.
It is
Happy Saturday! 🔳
Just don't get tired of watching those. Mr. B.
Proud of that, my dad fired the last Steam train into N
WILD WOOD PENNSY K-4 .😊
Thank you for sharing, brought back a lot of good memories. Grew up in the 70S and early 80s.
RDG 9156 is now preserved in Squamish Canada at the British Columbia Railway Museum as BC 21.
Nice footage 👍
Film of going up the Aldene connection very rare and connecting with the Pennsylvania at Newark only thing you missed was going into Newark that's a beautiful old station
The fellow that filmed this was probably getting ready to detrain when they were entering Newark station. I didn't film this, I only added the sound.
I Can remember my dad running these cars into N. Wildwood, in the early 1960,s he was a Reading RR Engineer, I was just a little boy.😊
Used to ride the Rdc's from Lansdale to Bethlehem PA. Great times.
My grandparents lived on 2nd Ave near the Hill To Hill bridge (Bethlehem). Every summer I'd ride the Budd cars into Philly and back. I was just a kid and those RDC rides were a real treat for me!! Now I hear ppl say they wish there was commuter service between Beth and Philly again!
1:52. The Hopewell NJ station I believe.
8:11 - 8:12 - Bullet Car.
Well, at least parts of the Reading lives at the Reading & Northern.😏
The tie was necessary as he worked in a bank in NY during his layover time.
Thanks for that info.
@@fmnut And I heard that when he retired, he received two pensions……. Good for him, working two jobs like that.
That Crusader had one or more terribly square wheels. I guess maintenance was limited at best. Same sound on the RDC's. Maybe just lousy track?
First, the Crusader was an RDC at the time of filming. Second, the film was silent, the sounds are from my videos of BCRAIL Budds. Flat spots were not uncommon on RDCs as they had a primitive anti lock brake system (Rolokron) that often malfunctioned. Lack of maintenance of either equipment or track few was not a factor.
Can any tell me if the engineer was Elmer Angelo?

This all went by so quickly for me. Is there an unedited version? I don't care how long it is.
Sorry, that's all there is. The edit points are only where the photographer stopped and restarted the camera.
@@fmnut that's a shame. Well something is better than nothing.
Engineer wearing a necktie, a bygone era.
Where any of the rdcs preserved
Yes. Reading & Northern has the 9166 and 9168. Reading RR Museum has the 9152, the last RDC built. RR Museum of PA has the LV 40 which was RDG 9163. BC Rail and MBTA got some of the others but I'm not sure of their current status.
9156 went to BC rail to become BC 21. It is preserved in operational condition at the West Coast Railway museum in Squamish BC Canada.
A second Reading RDC is also at the WCRA Squamish Museum. However it is not operational and I believe is only kept as a parts source. Not sure what it's original RDG number was.
@@fmnut The original Reading order being 9151-9162, that would make 9162 the last RDC ever built, unless they were built out of sequence. As for 9163 into the 9170's, those were all purchased secondhand by the Reading and PADOT.
In the case of the ones that went to BC Rail and MBTA, most likely most of them are in deadlines somewhere, if not already scrapped, with the exception of the above-mentioned 9156.
@@fmnut Whatever the last incarnation of the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Line had several RDCs that you used to see sitting on a siding near Rio Grande, NJ.
The sound is a great add.
Wow this is awesome
Nice video
Hmm I wonder where that crossing at :50 is located.
Maple Ave PA 213 in Woodlane
@@fmnut Wow never would have guessed there was a crossing there. When was it taken down?
@@elirosen1391 I assumed you were talking about the overhead bridge which is still there. I don't see a grade crossing at 0:50
I remember that crossing as a kid. It was a five-track crossing on the then two lane:Rt. 213. There was a station (shed) there
named Fairness Junction.
