Older railroad themed videos. The original video material often dismissed by the makers of today's high quality videos as "Railfan VHS" is not the greatest quality but the subject matter often redeems any deficiencies.

In the early 1970's I experimented with an 8mm movie camera. The results were awful. it was a failed experiment but many years later I added sound and digitized them at least making them visible just for old times. Here is the second and last one warts and all

The Conductor in 8:20 is he? czcams.com/video/jmAdARnIPVg/video.html&ab_channel=TheOldSword
What in 2:38
To me, the NYSW was THE railroad to watch, as they always had some thing to keep your interest, new track to operate, or old-- but new to them -- locos. The paint scheme was really neat, and they were the little railroad that could. Had to watch them from a distance, being a few states away from where they ran-- but always interesting. God Bless Walter Rich, for making things good, until his untimely death. Things are not the same now, but it was first class for a while.
These bad boys were the crown jewels for a time. I lived a 1/2 mile from hawthorne at the time, and these would come through at around 5-10 mph in 1986-87 etc. the track was awful back then
80’s-90’s Amtrak was in its prime
Beautiful engine, what a difference a paint job makes.
Any idea what streets those viaducts could be in the background?
That is the N-S Arterial NY Rt 12... NB is to the right. The overhead shots are from the N Genesee St bridge looking west
Do you have any footage of them running trains around on the shoe fly?
They opened a hole through the wreck site overnight and never completed the shoo fly. I did get some video of them walking a number of trains through the newly opened single track while they worked all around it. I am working on that and it will be up after I post 50 years ago Vol 2
Great I’m a big fan of your videos. Thanks
Aged like a fine wine. Thanks for sharing.
How is this a failure? This looks more like a win to me!
Amazing footage. Any footage from this era with sound is a win.
Those bash 8’s love the ground
Trains be like "giant unstoppable mass of iron that WILL obliterate anything that dares cross its path", but at the same time a shopping cart placed just in the right position is just too much to ask
Nice! 142 came from the Valley Railroad actually. The Valley later got the K&K engine which is still there.
Many thanks for the correction... JAW
Sure! Thanks as always for the GREAT videos.
Great video. Is this locomotive still around? After the merger with the Erie and everything was painted in the grey & maroon scheme, you could always tell former Erie units from Lackawanna by whether or not they had the Mars light. I think the E8s were mostly kept on their home rails, former DL&W or Erie, even after the merger. Eventually they were downgraded to freight service. Very sad.
807 and 808 both ex Pennsy units (based on the last info I have) are stored somewhere in the area of North Creek, NY They have been idle for many years and their condition is unknown, Thankfully they served a number of years doing fantrips for the Syracuse NRHS chapter before being idled and sold.
@@jaywinn481 Thanks for that information. As you certainly know Steamtown in Scranton, PA has a pair of F3s in the DL&W freight colors, nicely done, but they have reliability problems. There was also a B unit to go with them, but I've never seen it running. The A units are former CNJ. I don't know if any actual DL&W covered wagons still exist. EL worked them pretty hard up into the early 70s.
Thank you for this video of my favorite of the RS-series locos. She sure sounded sweet!
If my 1970 dart would start as easy… i could sell it haha
Amtrak did some horn theatrics for the foamers
Those C430's might not have been the best Alcos--- but they sure were great looking--- especially with those Hi-Ad trucks!!!
Miss the 1804
Right around the time the desert wind and the pioneer were discontinued I hope The desert wind and the pioneer make a comeback
I understand from what I am reading that the WNYP & LAL are updating their fleet of locomotives and doing away with all their four axle Alco's including the 423.
I followed the last D & H train just at the beginning of the consolidation. I remember laughing how they were having all kinds of problems getting the train over the road. Being a young (smart alec) engineer, I called the train dispatcher to get permission to couple up and shove them onto the siding to get them out of the way. He said: "Have some empathy for them, for they are the last D & H crew to operate a revenue train. They are probably the sons and grandsons of previous D & H conductors and engineers and are sad knowing that when they go 'outlaw' (over twelve hours), it will be a Conrail crew relieving them." Damn if they didn't ask to keep going after they went 'outlaw', the train dispatcher said: "You'll hold the siding until the jitney comes for you." I knew we were done also, I called the train dispatcher and reminded him we would be going outlaw within two hours also: "Call one, call two, " I said.
I love the sound of the FM opposed piston diesel engine. Years ago the New Haven RR had some FM H16-44 diesels. They had the trainmaster styling and were equipped with Hancock chime whistles .To me the sound of the FM engine is like an EMD on steroids.
The old Detroit&Mackinac had 4 like this--- they were ex- PRR units, that were rebuilt at Hornell. The paint scheme that was put on them was absolutely gorgeous! They served, and then became LSRC, same numbers--1280,181,281,381-D&M numbered their locos as date acquired. Sadly they are all gone, as LSRC phased out the Alcos, for EMD's. Nobody wanted them at the end. Sad endings for neat locos.
Nothing like the old railroad muscle! These old engines had character unlike the ugly engines of today! Unfortunately just like cars and trucks they are all beginning to look alike and not for the good either! I love the old high hoods and the F units and especially the old U boats! My all time favorite locomotive is the U28s the B or C they were old school muscle for sure!
It does sound good!
F I R S T
This took me a while to find on google
Love this era of Amtrak!
I love to see action like this. Thanks for posting something old.
Thanks.. Everything I recorded is old.. I stopped recording 20 years ago when I was in my 60s... LOL
I love this locomotive. Reminds me of taking train from grand central years ago.
0:35, waaaaaaaa, it’s 1016. Sold and cut up for scrap in April 2014 and by the evening of 04/22/2014, 1016 was gone, cab, trucks and everything, now she’s just a memory. Gone forever.
Sad to see that a once important yard and shops, were left to decline, and ended up in this condition. I don't think it suffering anymore. It's all gone now.
That is the closest timed dutch drop I've ever seen. lol
Does NYSW still own/use this loco??
2012 formerly B&O 3800 went to the North Shore RR sometime around 2010-2014
@@jaywinn481Thanks for the reply! Question-- if you know the answer--- what is/was the largest loco that could work through the clearances in the brewery. Seems VERY tight with a GP38,or 40. ??
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p I don't know for sure but I believe that they used the Alco C430 #3000 a few times.. Check out Railroading Rambler as he probably has video..
Nice catch thanks for sharing realy appreciate it did some street running on nygl years back
Maybe the conductor called for Cooperstown on account of a bad order car, "Turned out to be 19", a pertinent issue for sure, would make sense.
I remember seeing a Turboliner once in the late 90s. I thought it was this very futuristic train. Had no idea it was almost obsolete and built 20 years before I was born.
Always loved the C430's, as they seemed to look sleeker, more powerful. When NYSW had them painted in the yellow and black, AND with the silver trucks, they had to be in the top 3 of beautiful diesel locos ever on rails . The HI-AD trucks looked pretty neat, also. Only 4 are still active now, on WNY&P if I remember correct. ALSO--, a GBW unit is preserved at the National RR Museum in Green Bay. All the rest of the 16 built, are gone.
What is with the 5049, which is a GE product, riding on EMD FLEXICOIL trucks??
That is not a flexicoil but a standard FB-2 truck commonly used on the GE's. Cast by either Adirondack or Rockwell.
Almost all of the MBB cars have proper 2x2 seating and MBB #517 and one other got 2x3 seats from a Bombardier in around 2009. They do fit. The Bombardier 600s and 1600s (including the 300s) all have 2x3 seating. Note: MBBs are using Coaches’ 750-781 and 900-932 same 2x2 style seats but in purple, the MBB have them in probably MassDOT blue. The 91’ era Kawasaki cab cars/coaches all have a three-plus-two seating configuration. The MBBs also have much bigger windows than those found on the other single-level cars.
Awesome! No bells or horns... just engine noise. Nice description too. Thanks a lot!
The k cars seen in this video (700s and 1700s) are now 33 years old.😱 Railfans who are older remember when they were brand-new back in 1991.
Those locomotives along with the Alco Century units, which were already mostly phased out in 1990 were by far the best pulling unit, not the best riding, but they'd pull forever without stalling. Yes, I was partial to Alco's and GE's. Nice video. I must of missed that video previously. Thanks Jim
5:40, Rest In Piece 1500!!! 😭
0:48, Rest In Piece 1518!!! 😢
5:35, what the heck was 1635 doing in the middle of the train set.
5:48, back when 1616 was allowed to lead a train, now it and Nos. 1600-1615, 1617-1624 have their cab controls “Deactivated” and are used exclusively as blind coaches.
What is it about the clean,rounded Iines of the RS3, and most of Alcos locos, that are so eye pleasing?? Thanks for recording this-- these locos look great, as compared to the modern designs.
30 years later, and how much of these neat scenes are still there? D&H is gone, sadly, Guilford is gone-- thank God, and all those neat colorful locos are gone. NYSW has gotten smaller, and lost those neat Alco branch lines. Yes, once upon a time,we had it good, as railfans. Now, it's all gone.
