Great video ! Hard to imagine that one of the biggest round houses in the area once stood right there off of west shore. The old NYC West shore shops. Never saw it in person myself but heard all the stories from the folks.

Thanks! Yeah that roundhouse must've been a sight to see! At least the Pullman Roundhouse is still there, but it is pretty small.

Wasn’t the Silver Streak crash caused by remote trains.😂

[@mattygunn693]

Thankfully this remote job doesn't have the Rembrandt Letters on it. 😎 (You are talking about the movie right?)

@@mattygunn693 I was referencing the movie, god job. Most people have forgotten about that movie.
