Edwin Carrington Eddy 16mm Films
Приєднався 2 вер 2020
The 16mm films presented here are the life's work of Edwin Carrington Eddy or Carrington Eddy as he preferred to be called as he traveled the globe and especially his interest in steam operated railroads. The presentation of these films would not be possible without the permission of the E.C. Eddy family and most importantly the Jenner Family Film Trust for which I will forever be indebted to their kindness for allowing the viewing of these films.

I’m sorry to say this, but the music, although seemingly from that time period, it is extremely unfitting for this footage. If you don’t mind, I would like to have permission to download this video, and replace the music with something more nostalgic and longing.
wow =D
Can’t stand this guys voice he sounds so bored and robotic but cool video footage

Hello, As the curator of this channel I wanted to let everyone know I am going to be redoing this video sometime this summer. The Elmo scanning projector we use is getting an upgrade from the old SD camera to a new HD camera that scans the film. I hope to fix the audio sync issue as well. Also be on the lookout for a behind the scenes film that Mr. Eddy did about the making of Pillars of Smoke only available here. Also we will be finally uploading a batch of new Eddy films not seen in a very long time.
Hey..! I'm the guy who posted multi-replies to your "Five steps straight up" video of the GTW, (a true classic by the way). It's comforting to know that you're working on correcting the audio, but then again, I wouldn't lose sleep in doing that as most people get the gist of what's going on...and I stand corrected. 'Can't wait to see your other videos. WOW...! Can you imagine portraying the same video today??? These are serious "one-offs". Again, excellent stuff!!!
@@1chuck96 Thanks Chuck for the reply. The original Elmo 16mm scan converter we used has a really old SD camera that is about dead. I am replacing that with a HD camera and new electronics. I found out in the film library of Mr. Eddy is a kind of behind the scenes of the making of Pillars of Smoke which I intend to convert to digital sometime next month
@@edwincarringtoneddy16mmfil33 To whom it may concern: As I've said earlier, it's really no big deal but would be nice on both this video and "Five steps". As mentioned earlier, can one imagine how Edwin captured this rare event? 'Talk about a litigious situation...WOW !!! This video is the equivalent of something that would astound Lucius Beebe, (a HIGHLY noted Steam / railroad writer / photographer back in the 30-50's). Should you respond, I'm known as Jim. THX !
@@1chuck96 Jim, I have been friends with Mr. Eddy's nephew for over 22 years and he told me once that Carrington must have had some pull with the N&W railroad to do all this filming. I understand he was assigned a company man to oversee him and most of t he filming took over a year to complete. Today I own the Kodak 16mm camera he use for this and most of his videos.
It's a shame the sound isn't synchronized on this version... You can see the engineer pull the whistle lever and it's a minute later that you hear the sound... Likewise the train gets under way and then he mentioned the the process of releasing the brakes and signaling with the whistle that they're ready. The Heron Rail DVD is synchronized perfectly and is well worth the purchase price.

@@edwincarringtoneddy16mmfil33 Awesome, thanks! Subscribed...
Is it just me or is the audio totally out of sync with the video?
34:28 Uh that's the wrong whistle.

Wow…1of the very best steam videos I’ve ever watched. Lots of awesome views of the Y6 and other sister articulated eastern giants. Love it !
All the fake sounds
An unfortunate reality of amateur recording at the time. Very difficult/expensive to employ both a film camera and a microphone extension
Spettacolo!!!!!!
Best job in the world.
El Salvador: 3:22 - 17:00 (?) It's interesting to see the El Salvador train and railway when alive, it's dead now because of the poor economy and lack of interest from the authorities at that time. So these are short pieces of the whole film, right?

Anyone know tnis performance of 'I love my baby, my baby loves me!'
😮 That's the way you pull a cold rain you don't need six diesels
Great video!
Great to see this footage.
Excellent!
This wonderful video should be digitally remastered!
This IS grande, mes amis... Very, Very Good.
Mr.Eddy was a mechanical engineer for Buick. According to one source, he designed its Dynaflo transmission.
Talking to Mr. Eddy's nephew this mostly correct. He came up with the original idea while watching two fans place back to back in the loft of his uncles barn. The engineers at Buick took this idea and ran with it and didn't really give him any credit.
2:39 5:45 6:03 The whistles of GTW/CN #6400's
Actually 6400 is cn
The most relaxing form of transportation
There are some fantastic shots for sure. The sound track is not 100% correct the syncing way is off. But overall fantastic just because of what the content is for sure.
Ahh....to see a 2-8-8-2 run again.
40 Years ago I worked with a fellow named Bill Hammond here in Kentucky. He fired on the N&W in the early to mid 50s. He told me the work was hard and he never made it to engineer.
Filmed with professional grade equipment and synchronized sound.This is one of the best rail videos ever!
At 3:30 in the film two Y6's could handle 100 cars, I can't imagine how many a Y, A, and an Y pusher handled which you see in videos time to time. I wish I was around for these days. Great video!
The 100 car train with two Y's was a set off train. This would be split into two 50 car units. The Y, A, + Y would haul 140 car train up the grade: the two Y helpers and the A as the train engine. The set off and train would combine into a 190 car unit with a single A as the train engine for the flat run, the two Y's returning back. N&W used a lot of thoughtful running, not just the let's throw more HP at it route. Intelligent use of momentum grades; where an incline would be interspersed with slight levels and descents so as to get a bit of train speed up again. The extra water tenders were there so as to eliminate certain water spots where train weight would preclude a restart: the locomotives could skip the inconvenience of a water stop altogether, proceeding to a more favourably sited stop
@@muir8009 Thank you for that, I have seen many many videos of the normal Y,A,Y sets on the coal trains but never seen how long these trains got.
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 glad to inform :) they truly must've been vast trains. From the video we might see up to maybe a third of a train: its really hard to get an impression. There's one shot in the video (can't remember when) but far, far in the distant background you can actually see smoke from the pusher. One of the things I'm impressed with is how well organized it all is and how it all falls into place. Just with the set off trains and the distinct motive power for each section. It wasn't just bung a bunch of locos together. Things like the A as the train engine to be used later. The set off trains with only Y's etc. One of the things that unfortunately is a bit absent from the video is the footage of the pusher siding. When the Y helper moves off theres Jawn Henry on the main (maybe a time freight?) And another Y in the siding. One gets the impression that there may have been a fairly continuous stream of coal drags waiting at any given time. Even in the early part of the film when they're on the passenger train overtaking the set off train, theres a third train with a pusher on the (relief?) Siding. I'm a huge fan of the Y's: especially like the fact that they were used as train engines, helpers, theres even footage of them switching. Truly a maid for all work. And I think they look completely awesome which helps ;)
Another gem from Mr. Eddy ! I saw this stuff growing up in Metro Detroit in the 1950's . The ROW views are awesome , I see many depots as the train passes. The cab ride scenes are first rate in all respects. Thank you so much for posting these !!
What a great piece of history this. The narration and sounds of steam , the matchless countryside make this one of my favorite vids. I have chased both steam and Diesel in this area and loved every second. BTW, Another great Eddy vid of GTW steam in Michigan is out there. The title is "Five steps straight up " and not to be missed.
You just have to love the way the engineer makes that whistle cough. It's awesome!
Such beautiful footage of a lovely town. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for posting this. There is very few actual videos of the Greenbrier line and I love this.
Pure N&W steam power moving all that heavy coal over mountains, like prehistoric monsters,-- LOVE IT!!!!---THANKS!!!
Railroads are one of man's greatest achievements, and building the the N&W road, between Roanoke & Cincinnati, during late 1800, one of the most challenging. Lots of tunneling and blasting thru the mountains along the way.
Jeez...! I guess I'm the only guy out there that has watched this for the 2 millionth time and still enjoy it!!! Com'on ya'll...somebody has to have similar footage of the GTW, in steam, on 8 or 16mm film that they're sitting on and probably don't know it. Check your old library TODAY and find ANYTHING remotely like this!
Great production; plenty of steam and lots of coal. A little disappointed at the sound of the N&W steam whistles. Not very melodious.
Hi, will you authorize the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra to show this video on the background for one performance?
WOW! (Again). If only this could be re-mastered, (but highly unlikely). One question though, at 7:29 in, it's hard not to notice a "pan-pan-pan" sound coming from the video. What exactly would this be? The only thing I can think of would be her air pump(s), but "they" were located on the front of the engine. My second thought would be her water injector, (whatever that sounds like if anything). Sounds eerily Human. Still excellent stuff my Friend nonetheless and I just subscribed, so that means you'll have to come up with similar GTW stuff in the future right? Perhaps not.
Thank you for preserving this unique record of white pine logging in Algoma.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the best videos that I have seen on articulated. I wish I could get it on DVD.
N&W historical society has it.Definitely worth having.
Excellent footage of the best of US railroads in steam days. Don't know what film it was originally shot on but the quality is great for the time of filming. The whistles make you realise just what we have lost!
Back in the early 1950s I was a young lad living in Western PA. On a hillside above the farmhouse where i lived was the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg track. There were several grade crossings and if I hurried out when I heard the whistle I could catch the steam locomotive rolling across the hillside. One Morning I heard a strange sound snd ran out to see the 1st diesel locomotive I had ever seen. Sadly I never heard another steam whistle after that day.
Incredible footage of some of the best period of American railroading with these spectacular behemoths doing their awesome work in the magnificent forest mountain scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Wonderful 1950s footage and sound of N&W's mighty coal hauling (and some passenger) steam locomotives! Nice introduction to the film with the song, "Trail of the Lonesome Pine." After watching this entire film, I almost feel like I have to wash the coal cinders from my hair (well, what's left of it). Thanks for sharing!
Great watching him flip the bannock!
