[@traderalex1]

pretty extraordinary footage. Thank you for sharing that. That was a treat to see that window into the past. Never saw steam engines in revenue service. Oldest stuff I saw as a boy in Brooklyn
were the old R4 subway cars, which saw service well into the 60's Famous for decapitation ceiling fans, straw-packed seating, and the conductor had to open the doors by staring between two
cars on two narrow foot plates, and press two buttons.

Awesome trip into history…thanks for sharing.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Very accurate functions of the locomotive 🚂. Had the opportunity & good fortune. To ride 2 different steam locomotives 🚂 scenic train rides. Smoky Mountains N. C. & Durango & Silverton Colorado. Very relaxing viewing the wonderfully beautiful regions. Remember the " Singing Break Men "🎸🎶 Jimmie Rogers. Whom was a genuine break men till changing careers to singing entertainer. (1926 thru 1933 ) . Most memorable song " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". The educational value of this phenomenal presentation . For future generations to appreciate & enjoy.. Is immeasurable since these filming's are 60 plus years old. A bye gone era of rail roading.😉.

I didn’t know that the South Shore had their own rolling freight stock!🧡

[@albertcarello619]

@anthonyhunt701: They sure do!

At 13:10 is the Milwaukee County War Memorial. You list as unknown depot. So, this must be the C&NW Milwaukee passenger station on the downtown lakefront. Thanks.

Im just patiently waiting for 2344 f3 NYC, 2338 Milwaukee Road GP7, and 681 steam locomotive... My grandfather worked for Erie Lackawanna railroad (conductor) 1947-1970

[@richcook2007]

I'm still a huge Lackawanna Railroad fan.

How were you able to operate the train if you weren't a employee? Pretty cool
