- Conrail on the roller coaster Pittsburgh Mainline. Nothing but up and down, which reguires helpers in both directions between Pittsburgh and Altoona PA.
This was filmed with my first VHS camera, so the will be a little shakey at times, since I didn't have a tripod yet.
Hope you enjoyed these clips of a few locations on the
Pittsburgh mainline. Sorry for the shakes. This was my
first VHS camera, and before I had a tripod.
Thanks for watching. Please be sure to check out my
many other video clips from the 1970's up to today.
God Bless

Back when 89' Flat Cars were used for Intermodal Trains. Now it's all mostly double stacks. I'm pretty sure the overhead bridge at 15:55 had to get replaced for the double stacks to clear. All in all, great stuff there kind sir. Thank you.
Yes it did get replaced. They raised the abutment about a foot, for the doubles on this one. They also raised the Buffinmeyer bridge just off Donohoe Road as well, only they still left the bridge, just raised it about 18"s.
Love Conrail..thank you for it all.
Sure do miss those days David, and thank you for watching.
Give me conrail or give me death,,,,,awesome video of big blue,,thanks for sharing,,KEN
Glad you enjoyed it Ken. There WILL be more. Thanks for watching.
Once again Jack you've come through with great footage. The sounds of those engines going full throttle is really awesome! Thanks again!
Sure thing David. We will be doing more on the Pittsburgh mainline. I have tons of stuff between Pittsburgh and Altoona. Thanks again, and thanks for watching...
video and sounds are excellent!
Great footage, great shots, really miss those old images and motive power, brake smoke (especially the EMD's) , helper units as they were known as then.
Excellent video Jack, thanks for posting and sharing Brother hope you're doing well !

Thanks Larry! I sure miss those days as well. There is a ton more of this stuff on the Pittsburgh mainline. I'll be putting more of this up in the future. I'm doing very well my brother, and pray that you are also. Thanks again for watching, and God Bless.

I'm looking forward to your new uploads, I'll stay tuned.
Peace to you Brother
I'm just old enough to remember the last of the Conrail B36-7s running on CSX in the early 2000s. I was born into the wrong era of railfanning...
Wow awesome! So thankful you have and post these!
Just spend the day filming on this line myself. Do you happen to have any footage with the old Westmoreland Glass Factory in the background??
Thank you lookingback. Yes, I have tons of video of trains going past the WGF. I managed several still shots as well. www.flickr.com/photos/jackdk/27969967518/in/photolist-JBBoTh-2krYmRT

That's a classic, atmospheric railroad video. Great time of year to have shot this. Very lush scenery.
Hood units ruled the mainlines: General Electric B30-7s, C30-7s, and what looked like an 8-40'C.
Also looked like lots of older SD40s used as pushers and at the head end with the newer SD40-2s.
And, GP40-2s.
Beautiful, classy paint scheme the railroad had - up there with Chessie System. They chose a striking color.
Great video! Can’t wait to see what else you have
Tons more W153! Glad you enjoyed it. Little by little I'll be adding stuff between Pittsburgh and Altoona. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video of the conrail Jack!!!!
Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoyed it.
Your welcome!!!
Отлично. Старые добрые видео ролики. С огромным удовольствием смотрел. За что и огромное спасибо.
Great stuff as always Jack!
Thanks Adam. There is LOTS more. LOL. Thanks for watching...
RIP to big blue conrail
It amazes me how well that camera recorded this. Sound is so crisp.
Not to bad for early VHS. I wish we had todays equipment back then, or even back in the 70's when I was filming. Holy cow!!!
Wooohoo long live Big Blue
Gotta love Big Blue. More will be coming Derrick. I have hours and hours of Pittsburgh mainline stuff, Pitt to Altoona. Thanks again for watching...
Noice. (First btw.)
LOL, Someone has to brake the ice. Thanks Mash, and thanks for watching...
