Harriman was my station. Spent a number of years waiting for the train at the old Harriman train station. Thanks for the memories.
Nice, as a kid I lived in Washingtonville and went to school in Goshen, I remember seeing EL trains throughout Orange County, Thanks
Wow, what a super sweet video, longed to be there! (Dave).
Thank you for sharing. As always, I very much enjoyed .👍
great to see all these passenger trains on the starrucca viaduct. Lots of goodies ! thanks !
one cool look into the past !
Love the Erie Main. Being born in 77, just missed the EL operations from Salamanca NY to Brockway Pa over Chessie/B&O to their coal branch. My Dad hired in 70 out of Johnsonburg Pa for B&O and I've been studying the Erie's operation on this line for years. Erie Bradford Branch by Lawrence W. Kilmer is an interesting read. This my woman's account. I'm William Addeo, Elk County Pennsylvania.
At 28:45 I believe this is Owego, NY on the Lehigh Valley. This is obviously into Conrail, and this job is headed up to Harford, NY to spot propane. There is an old salt mine where propane was stored in the summer, and shipped out for the winter season. This continued up into 2015 or so.
You would be correct, Oswego is on Lake Ontario and there are no salt mines there.
This is great! I grew up near Corning and I have memories of the EL in Painted Post, Addison, Gang Mills. I have lived in Middletown for the last 34 years and I missed so much. Wonderful collection of video.
To help with some of the spots in the “Not Sure” category.
26:32 looks like Basket NY off the NY-97 Bridge to the NW of Hankins
28:58 is Owego, NY. West of Binghamton with looks to be a Hartford Mills Train with all tbose LPG cars
Great stuff.
The majesty of The Viaduct never grows old!!
The segment around 27:33 is out of order; it clearly shows Narrowsburg, NY. One shot is taken from the parapet of Fort Delaware, located there. Also, the arched bridge over the Delaware River, connecting Pennsylvania and Narrowsburg is shown. This segment should come after "the hawk's nest" segment and then Calicoon should come next, followed by the Starucca Viaduct. I know that area well, having taken the train in to Hoboken from Narrowsburg often when growing up. I have some brief footage of The Erie Limited pulling into the Narrowsburg station and can send it to you if you want.
Excellent. The footage from the early 1960s shows the largely un-repainted mix of post-merger equipment. I grew up in S Jersey but in summer 1971 was on a Delaware River canoe/camping trip & we camped in Hankins NY (W of Callicoon) along this main line. I recall a constant stream of fast EL freights passing through. Question: anyone know when the last EL passenger service on this line, W of Port Jervis, ran? Also, I hear this line is very quiet these days (2024). Who operates it now, CSX? Thanks.
Love footage of the old main line.
The scene at 26:15 is NOT Starrucca Viaduct. It's along the Erie's Delaware division.
Nice video 😎. I grew up in area of this track in the 70’s spent lots of time walking the tracks and hoping slow freights 😊, what I don’t get is the trains in this video have zero graffiti yet just a short time later say mid 70’s I remember the train graffiti starts to appear and now a days to find just one rail car not covered in graffiti is a rare sight indeed, that’s 😞. What happened to America?
Just for the heck of it kept a running tally of visible and or known road names.
Of 32 roads counted only 1 still remains.
Canadian Pacific for the record.
27:45 to 28:35 is Narrowsburg, NY
great fallen flags shown on the rails.
Where are getting all of this great EL content from? Is it from a collection?
I was involved in digitizing a massive collection of films. The EL stuff I have is from Paul Geiger, Wilson Jones, and a little from Phil Albano.
@@RailroadMediaArchive Are these guys still with us?
@@JPMediaRR Just Phil.
@@RailroadMediaArchive I would like to get more info about the film, is there a way to contact you outside of CZcams?
I should say contact you privately
