First look at a new GE Dash-9 on the B&P Railroad
BPRR 4823 would be the first of the newly acquired former BNSF General Electric Dash-9 locomotives to operate on the Buffalo & Pittsburgh railroad. Trailing the day before on RISI/SIBF the unit would end up leading in darkness from Buffalo to Salamanca. These would be the first GE's purchased on a railroad that has been strictly EMD since the B&P was formed. On September 20th 2023 we follow the 4823 on SIRI from Salamanca to just outside Johnsonburg. There they would swap crews with the RISI which we follow back north with the recently repaired EMD SD60M 3892 (ex BN TRICLOPS) leading. As an extra bonus we catch the WNY&P Salamanca turn at Carrollton heading back east to Olean on the former Erie.

Delaware Lackawanna PO74/75 ALCO's on the DL&W Pocono Main April 25th 2020
zhlédnutí 262Před 11 měsíci
Always a fun place to visit the Delaware Lackawanna never disappoints. Power this day was M630 #3007, 3000 and C636 3642. Many thanks to the DL employees who continue to keep these classic Alco locomotives running for future generations to enjoy. I can't think of anyplace else in the country where its possible to see such a variety of ALCO and MLW locomotives running in mainline service.
First Look at the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad in Late 2020
zhlédnutí 633Před rokem
After having to relocate to Buffalo for work I soon discovered the Buffalo & Pittsburgh railroad. The B&P is an all EMD railroad rostering SD40-2s, rebuilt SD50s and ex Conrail SD60M’s for road service along with some other models. They are very predictable with road train SIRI starting out of Salamanca NY in the morning Monday to Friday that heads south and swaps with the RISI usually around J...

PANAM 11R DETOUR ON THE VERMONT RAILWAY #1 February 17th 2020
zhlédnutí 309Před 3 lety
During the Winter of 2020 a partial collapse of the famous Hoosac Tunnel resulted in the west end of Panam's line to Mechanicville to be shut down. During this time trains 11R and 16R were detoured on a daily basis to get around the tunnel. Due to some 6 axle restrictions on the Vermont Railway, Panam would have to assign many of their 4 axle B40-8 to get these trains over the Green Mountains i...
Rare NS 22K Detour Move on Amtrak West of Schenectady

Something I never thought I would see is an Intermodel Train on the former NYC Main between Schenectady and Hoffmans NY. Due to the collapse of the Hoosic Tunnel a NS 22k had been sitting in Binghamton for about a week. With CP Rail only allowing one detour move between Mechanicville and Kenwood yard, NS had to find a creative route to get this train to Ayer MA. After communicating with Amtrak ...

On February 18th 2020 NS train 22K symboled Z01617 on CSX made its way east from Buffalo. The NS power would stay on across the B&A making this even more significant as CSX power always leads due to Cab Signal requirements. As a bonus the New York Central Heritage Uni...
N&W 611 Reunion of Steam at the Strasburg Railroad
zhlédnutí 697Před 4 lety
On October 18th 2019 would be the last day of public trips with the N&W 611 over the entire railroad. This day the 611 would make 5 round trip excursions from Strasburg to Paradise PA meeting fellow N&W 2-8-0 #475 3 times at Groffs. We were lucky enough to be down in the area for the TCA train show in York PA and took advantage of seeing the #611 on some unusual territory.

This is an experiment to see how good the quality is and if there is any interest in seeing more footage shot from around 1990-1998 in the Hudson Valley. Comment how you think the quality is and if you want to see more. Have about another 80 hours to digitize.

So excited to see the footage starting at 5:36 showing the train in North Truro heading over Corn Hill and into Wellfleet. So little is left of that train experience now. As far as I know, this is the only footage shot in that area from the train. So great, thanks for sharing
RIP Pan Am Railways
Bud car I was in a accident. Vandalized
I like the other way much better not the way it is now..thank-you....Ken
I grew up in North Abington and was always hanging around the freight yard and walking the tracks on the old Hanover Branch that originated there. Great memories. Tnx for the video.
I grew up right next to the tracks in Woods Hole,Mass., the end of the line for the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Woods Hole is featured twice in this documentary, one time traveling past Little Harbor with my childhood home on the top right. I have been fascinated by trains my whole life and wish I'd become a Lady Train Engineer! Thank you for the fond memories!
I got the RDCs Disease...more RDCs please!😅
Here in the UK, we were still using steam in the 1950's the last steam service was withdrawn in 1968. You had a lot more diesel engines. I love the vintage passenger coaches. The place names remind me that so many towns in the US are named after English places, New Haven, Cornwall, Windsor, Taunton etc. I love historical videos like this, thank you for posting it.
Hello from the UK. This is a great capture of a moment in time, long past. Already you can see the decline of the railway: In some places there is single track where there was clearly double, some railway buildings such as the stations are already boarded up. It is such a shame that passenger use declined in the 50's and 60's on both sides of the pond. Here in the UK passenger rail traffic has been increasing since the 1980's.
Great video of the lights and sounds of the CP Holiday Train!
I love mom 👩 at the beginning hoiking her kids out of the way of the train 🤭
New Haven RDC-3 #130 seen starting at 9:45 became Chicago & North Western #430 sometime in the mid to late 1970s. The C&NW converted it to a track geometry car to measure gage and elevation of the rails. I spent about three weeks operating the #430 in the late 1980s so a new employee could be broken in on the test equipment. Besides the large computer in the back of the RDC, a complete kitchen was added for the benefit of the crew (this included actual C&NW, serving dinner plates, cups etc,. in the cabinets). Two bedrooms were also added. Curiously, it still retained its unusual NH Hancock whistle at the passenger end. #430 now resides at a railroad museum in French Lick, Indiana.
Love how clean the trains are. Back when you’d be shot if someone caught you trying to deface a train with that graffiti filth!!
The sd60s are the ones called triclops. They just got them not to long ago anyone know y or if they are replacing them. I saw a bunch of x bnsf locomotives at Ryker yard in punxsy
My special needs son loves trains 🚆🛤🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 especially General Electric Dash 9's and is that one found a new place to work.
Some of this footage extends into the 1960s and as far as about late 1967 to 1968.
Thanks for your work on this it's perfect and full of atmosphere .
Footage like this is so very precious!
I'm from NL, Canada, and very familiar with some of the train/railway photos Mr. Thomas took in NL in 1967. Because many highways in NL were still gravel at this time (especially on the Bonavista Peninsula), Mr. Thomas often just barely made it from one grade crossing to the next in order to get photos of the train approaching the crossing.
Interesting (And unexpected) tid-bit at 08:45 - That's a Talgo set, and unusually configured into separable three-coach rakes at that! Were NewHaven the first company to use these in North America? 🚂🇪🇸🇺🇸😇 Other than that, the DMUs (Motor coaches) seen here look as if they had absolutely no damping on their suspension...So little in fact even our own Class 142s (The BR RailBus) probably gave a smoother ride! Did people ever get motion sickness on these? 😲 Many, many thanks for the upload! There's lots of UK footage from this period in history (Railfanning was a national hobby at the time!) but it's *so rare* to see footage of the US networks from this same point in history! 😇
That opening scenes is awesome, love the single track and that Ex BNSF unit blasting the horn is really cool, great lashup there cruising through the forest! Some really cool catches and scenes in here, love the TriClopse, so cool and that Black and Yellow paint scheme is awesome too? What are they hauling in those cars, looks like gravel? Great Video, Su'bd up! -Ken
I don't think any 8MM films used the 16 x 9 ratio.
Great footage!
WONDERFUL. Used a tripod, thank God. Thank you.
Boston and Maine had lots of those Budd cars.rode them many many times
Awesome footage! The photographer certainly had an eye for filming trains!!
that woman who pulled the boy back really jerked his arm.
Just a great film I enjoyed this . Go New Haven!
The Daniel Webster not being towed by a GP-9
Stations were magnificent...sorry to hear that many were demolished.
Quite a bit of that rolling stock still exists. It's parked in an old marshaling yard in Derby Connecticut. All seized by the state for back taxes owed
Are these replacing the SD60’s?
at some point
What kind of horn is that?

Que bonito mar donde pasa mi tren favorito 😍
A great nostalgic video. Thanks.
If you can stabilize these scenes, it would be a vast improvement.
Grew up in Norwalk ,CT and lived for a number of years in NewHaven as an adult.Used the New Haven a lot. Love pictures from a “golden age” of the railroad
Outstanding video! Amazing capture of the vintage trains and scenery. I especially loved the old Carnival train cars. Those old stations should have been preserved as historical landmarks. How I wish we could have audio in the background. That would have made this video beyond perfect. Keep up the good work!
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this footage.. Fantastic footage! Thank you for posting .
At the 5:05 mark looks like coming out of Woods Hole.
I agree. I have rode the Shining Sea Bikeway countless times and that sure looks like WH to me.
Makes me wonder where 4:17 was. Perhaps in Falmouth at Great Sippiwissett marsh?
@@SouthCoastRailVideos Very well could be, good eye! What a find this video is
Thanks so much for post❗❗did our ❤️good to re- view footage of great r.r. X's in merica'👍

Amazing footage!👍
Great DL 109 shot at 8:20. Rare footage!
Excellent! Great references for scenicking my layout!
nice job! great reference for scenicking my New Haven HO scale layout
OK! That little girl in the red scared the crap out of me! I was like: WHERES THE ADULT?😱
All of those children seen here, if still alive, would be in their 80's by now; my mom is currently 82 (Class of 1958), father just turned 87 (Class of 1954). Loved how at the beginning the mom dragging the boy and girl back on the platform LOL
Good upload
And no one though the camera person was a trouble maker ?
