It's been said before " the best place to watch trains is from a train"

GG1's speeding is what they do best, they do look fast.💪

Nice to see 421 active again

I constantly wish I was born in the 80’s so I could railfan in the 90’s. But I was born 2006 been buffing since around 2020

Great video Glad you posted this i remember seeing these units go by the Bethlehem Steel Steelton Pa. Plant. I remember see the track walked once in awhile with a wrench to tighten the loose joint bar bolts

I guess you recorded the sound of the projector, I understand that it's nostalgic and all that, but it's pretty much just too loud. I'd prefer not muting the volume but the projector noise is too much at that volume for any length over a minute.

The footage with Quakertown & Eastern #4 would have been from one of several excursions in 1969 and 1970.

I grew up in MIchigan City and have many memories of the South Shore. I enjoyed all of this video, particularly the shots at Shops of the 700's and 800's, and the pacing shots of street running. I'm old enough to remember the old passing siding in front of the MC station, and the single-point switches associated with it. I moved away in the late 60's and didn't see much of the C&O ownership, so that was interesting, too. Cheers from Wisconsin!

Where did the Pennsy have a diamond with catenary on the crossing route?

Memories are made of this…

Unreal footage. Hope there is more!!

NKP 765 & PM 1225

More Footage Please!

16:24 DRGW!

16;24 DRGW!

I will never turn off a video that shows a GG1 in action!

I saw an abandoned bridge next to the South Shore between the three and four minute mark. Could that have been a former railroad right of wa?

At 5:31 that looks like Mina Ohio which was once a coaling location as well as a small terminal for sev local freights in the NYC steam era.

Love the accompanying music❤

11:53 Funny how the Ex RF&P CSX 6394 happens to be the unit painted by the Cedartown paint shop in 2023

Can you do anything about the projector sound. Even just dubbing in some elevator music would be better.

Love seeing these rare gems of railroad history! As a model railroader modeling the 1970s era, these films are also a very useful reference. Thanks for posting!

Iconic blast from the past. Thank you very much indeed.

Where is/was that diamond?

Any northeast corridor Maryland action?, grade crossings?

Those new Alco C628's in the train at 0:51 to 0:54 are Ferrocaril del Pacifico units headed for delivery in Mexico. They were built in April 1964, so that dates this footage pretty well. I wonder what the Schmidt's of Philadelphia Brewing Company reefer at 3:28 was doing in the Calumet region? Thanks for posting!

Those electric locomotives would catch on fire 🔥

I love this but the ticking of the projector drove me nuts after 5 minutes

Was confused when I saw those two CNW units until I remembered Conrail was short on power in its beginning and leased power from BAR, CN, and CNW

This footage is gold! The 60s/70s were a particularly "gritty" time in the Northeast. It's what I grew up with and I still love it. I can only imagine the work and time that goes into digitizing the original film and editing. Much appreciated!

another great video ! and tons of gg1s ! the gg1 with the number 4896 was marked amtrak, and all the rest of amtraks in the 900 series. Why is that ? To my knowledge Cr had their gg1s in the 4000 series. this was a nice Time Machine , who wouldn't go back to a place like this ! that's sure is drama...thanks !

7:11 *Bonk*

Lol I don’t think Ive ever seen a GG1 in Amtrak colors… one tuscan red and PC puke black-green

Erie Lackawaxen!!!

Does anyone know what song was playing in the background at 3:12?

Wow. This has to be one of the few movies of the GM6C electric out there.

Awesome Catches

These scenes no doubt are gold to fans who lived there at that time. Truth was, those first couple of yrs Conrail was around were tough if one of the Railroads that folded into it was a favorite. You'd still see your once proud Railroad's units wearing their old paint scheme but w/a Conrail number and just a simple "CR" logo over the roadname. Not a great time.

First comment!!! Love the GG1 content!

I work this line it’s amazing to see how much is still there even though looking a little worse for ware

Very cool footage! Like stepping into a time machine

Where in kc was this?

Uhhh yeahhhhh Detroit City Train's On folk's !!!!!

I love the idling motor it sounds so awesome

Outstanding! Thanks for posting.

Shock and Awe! These points scenes were included in Clear Block Productions Grand Trunk into the 90's Volume 3, and honestly for a long time I wondered how someone could be close enough to watch the points change on what looks to be a siding/secondary track. The operator was just showing you the points moving? This is great footage, I love seeing the change of this area over the years compared to other photos. I hate that they cut out the footage of the tower overview.

Excellent video, abrupt edit at 3:58.
