Переглядів 5 тис.9 років тому
These little saddle tank steam locomotives shunted freight cars between rail car floats and factories on the north Brooklyn waterfront until 1962 or '63. The operation ran with diesels engines until 1983. One of the steam engines (#16) sat on the property abandoned until the late 1990s. The rich have now taken over this prime real estate with Manhattan views from their hi-rise condos.
Penn Station, But Deliver Us From Grand Central

These intercut scenes, from Hollywood films shot in New York's Pennsylvania Station before it was demolished in 1963, or on stage sets representing it, form a composited narrative set in Manhattan's great lost architectural masterpiece.
C&O 614 Hoboken to Port Jervis October 1996
Переглядів 19 тис.16 років тому
Ross Rowland ran his locomotive C&O 614, a 1948 vintage 4-8-4, from Hoboken, NJ to Port Jervis, NY and return on three weekends in October 1996, hauling railfans both up and back on both Saturdays and Sunday each weekend. The afternoon layover in Port Jervis each day was spent doing photo run-bys and turning the locomotive on the old, partially functioning Erie turntable now powered by bulldoze...

The Ballad of Susan Smith by Lee Ann Brown

In 1994, Susan Smith, a young South Carolina mother, eased her car down a slope into a lake, drowning her two toddler sons who were secured in the car's child safely seats. She claimed that the vehicle with her sons inside was carjacked a black man. After weeks of a nationwide manhunt for that ficticious man, she confessed to the crime. In this film, North Carolina born New York poet Lee Ann Br...

my BEDT favorite, is 12 because I saw him in person and and my other favorite is 16 because he’s not far from me
❤
My favorite B.E.D.T engines are #14 and #15
Nah, that’s just thomas before his makeoever
If you were going for a joke, it wasn't very effective
I moved the 16 from Kent Ave. to the former NY Cross Harbor RR engine house in Sunset Park, about 1992 or so. The idea was to restore it, and run it along part of the Bay Ridge branch of the LIRR as steam powered tourist operation, which were popular at the time. The pair of abandoned LIRR Bar-Generator cars stuck inside the Brooklyn Army Terminal were supposed to have been used in this venture as well. Sadly, for a number of reasons, it never materialized. A few years later, when its management changed, NY Cross Harbor quietly "re- donated" the 16 to the LIRR Museum in Riverhead, where I heard it sits in several pieces today.
At 1:52, that 0-6-0T No.15 is the only operating Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal Railroad Tank Engine. Now it’s rebuilt to look like Thomas The Tank Engine himself at the Strasburg Railroad.
At one point a steam locomotive is heard - a mistake, because all the trains at Penn Station were electric; the smoke from steamers would be intolerable in the tunnels.It's Grand Central TERMINAL. Not station. It's the end of the line.---The destruction of Penn Station motivated the designation of certain buildings as historic landmarks, and saved Grand Central Terminal from the wrecking ball.
u bad at skyblock
Fun fact: BEDT #12 (seen at 1:40 - 1:42, and again at 1:55) is now residing at the Florida Railroad Museum. I'm not sure if #12 is being restored or not, but it would be rather cool to see.
Not sure if you'll see this, but I'm a Floridian local who has been around #12 for a while, it probably won't be restored to operation any time soon but at least it wasn't scrapped.
@@TheRealStikShady I'm thankful for that at least Still, one can dream..

@@The_EmeraldOne it is currently missing some brass parts which I assume are in storage, such as it's whistle, builder's plate, and number plate. However it is also missing it's siderods, particularly the ones that push into the pistons. They are probably also in storage, however with how many owners the engine has had, they could just as well be lost.
@@The_EmeraldOne although the boiler might need a partial to complete restoration
I think the first scene is from the movie "Killer's Kiss" Stanley Kubricks second movie, it was made in 1955.
b e t d 15 is thomas
nope 16
Correct, #15 IS Thomas on the Strasburg Railroad, well, it was converted into a steam operated Thomas replica and is the only steam operated Thomas locomotive in the US
That is nice color for 1957 !
Interesting seeing all the sand along the rails, lot of traction needed to hustle those cars around the terminal…
*BEDT, you misspelled the acronym
Great video. Do you own this footage?
Trenton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, and Point What?
"....points south"
Track 22? Penn Station has only 21 tracks.
I wonder what the PRR thought when they found out Bonnie & Clyde took a train operated by their biggest rival. :)
You couldn't take a train from New York to Seattle, nor could you get a train to Maine.
anonymous anonymous You certain could travel directly to Maine (at least in the Summer on the Bar Harbor Express) which skirted around Boston and avoid North and South Stations.
maintim I'm confused. The Pennsylvania Railroad didn't go to Florida or Maine, yet you could get trains from Penn Station to those locations. The Boston & Maine, Maine Central, Southern, Atlantic Coast Line, and Seaboard Air Line Railroads didn't go into Penn Station, yet specific trains operated on multiple Railroads, like the Silver Comet, which was officially operated by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, yet New York doesn't appear on any of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad maps. Can you help me sift through it?
The way it worked was that the trains were pulled by PRR locomotives over PRR tracks, and then changed to the locos of other RRs.Trains going south (Southern, ACL, SAL) would originate in NYC and make limited stops on the PRR to Washington DC. In Washington, the PRR electric locomotive would be replaced by a steam or diesel from the RR that actually owned the trainset. The station in Washington DC is actually named Washington Union Terminal - the "Union" refers to the fact that several railroads used it cooperatively. In the old days, PRR, B&O, C&O, RF&P and other railroads all used it. Trains going north went around Boston.
this is fucking gold
Traffic in Souls (1913) might well contain the earliest footage of the station
I'd just like to say that you have a gorgeous voice, and I really don't think there's anything wrong with this song. It's not glorifying the crime or saying what that woman did was okay - it's remembering a tragic event, and an interesting look at what Susan Smith's perspective might have been. I don't think the song is at all disrespectful to the memory of those children, and I think that it's important to remember that things like this have happened so we can keep them from happening again.
Very Appalachian-sounding. 1994 was the year my daughter was born. Crazy.
WONDERFUL COMPILATION! THANK YOU!
I remember Penn. Station so well. A Magnificent building torn down- and shit put up in it's place. Like so many of the old NY treasures.
The brass globes and the criss cross railings !
i hate this video
my god i wonder what the hell you people think about the song skinned by blind melon.
I SURE PRAY YOU DID NOT MAKE ONE DIME ON THIS DEPRESSING SONG. HOWEVER YOU DO HAVE A LOVELY VOICE. MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU SING FOR JESUS.....THANKYOU,BILL
I wish people would quit condemning Susan Smith and Andrea Yates for what they did. But I hope that Casey Anthony burns in HELL for beating her daughter. Give me drowning anyday.
whoever made this is as twisted as susan smith!
Just found: 'Naked City' has amazing 1948 montage shots around the city including one in the taxi stand portico at Penn Station same setting as 'Strangers on a Train' and 'Applause'.
@Jazzyhorn111 Ross Rowland is an amazing steam engineer he is the one responsible for the american freedom train, he has also owned a number of engines such as EX READING 2101, C&O 614 is the engine he currently owns now.
Google him
@fourteenKnuckels lol true, fukin idiots.
I'm sorry for you that you can only handle happy songs.
@sunchippy I'm sorry that you only want to hear happy songs
@omnibus13ad May I offer you a bucket of water?
@fourteenKnuckels In any event, she tried to place the blame on a guy who doesn't even exist. What really gets me is that she killed her two boys because apparently loverboy didn't want any children. If I'm dating someone and I have two kids, the moment he tells me that the doesn't want any children is the moment he is GONE! I don't care how much I love him, my kids are more important then any man.
This song is kinda fucked up .
Staatl, I volunteer at Steamtown, There is rumors floating around that 614 might be coming to Steamtown. That Ross has been talking with Kip Hangen , So keep your fingers crossed. Len
The subject of this song may not be pleasant, but it exposes a truth concerning how a person lost their mind and did such a horrible act. To me, that's what songwriting is about, telling it like it is. It's beautifully sung and very well crafted....five stars to you. :) Janet
I am going to post a song I wrote many years ago called "Shadows of Things that Were". The Susan Smith story is one of the incidents that I am going to refer to for this song. I would like to post this as a reference for others to look at when I do post it. This song is very chilling and true. I remember when this happened. My two girls were the same age as her two boys were.....:(
I was on this excursion, dont remember it but i wish i did
Songs about murder are everywhere. As a matter of a fact, this song isn't sick and twisted at all.
Wow, what a great video! It's such a shame to think that what I go into now to get into the city isn't even a shade what people used to go into. My dad talks about it every time we pull into drab station. Get rid of MSG, that thing is an eye sore. Start from scratch I say :P
THANKS for this compilation! My mom had told me how magnificent Penn Station was, but they started tearing it down the year before I was born. Whereas we walked in like gods, now we scuttle in like rats. Maybe someday soon, NYC may build up the political & financial will to rebuild Penn Station.
Even a partial rebuild, like getting rid of 2 Penn and putting the waiting room there but making the space under the garden bigger and better as well would be huge.
how is that the worst part...the worst part was the two kids being murdered
was not a cultural event
I believe I have a shot from "The Seven Year Itch" in here, but desaturated for a consistent black and white look.
THANKS for this GREAT compilation of film footage, really makes it come to life.
One crazy bitch....
