SPARKLING LEHIGH VALLEY R.R. FILM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- Never seen film on UA-cam is a look back in time to the "Anthracite" roads that once made the eastern rail scene more interesting and colorful. These principal roads were the Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central, Reading, D&H and the Erie Lackawanna Railroads.
The common theme was their early success based on hauling anthracite coal from a unique area in Pennsylvania and the decline of that business. The last decade of these roads largely depended on a declining business in hauling "bridge traffic".
The corporate history of these five roads is woven into a wealth of wonderful, all-color, railroading scenes. Our animated maps, made especially for our videos, are used to keep the viewer more informed.
We explain all the mergers and some that almost came about. This railroading action has a grand look at five Class 1 rail lines that were independent until 1976.
Our presentation is based on color movie film with its rich color rendering and digital enhancement to make it appear better than even the original.

AND MORE!
Grew up along The Valley, was a great line that ran on time schedule. I lived in a small rural town that was quite boring. The world was an big place and I had little legs. So at 11 years old in winter of 75/76 I hopped a Valley train as it left the yard. Would use the RR as my own transportation system until my late teens when I discovered that girls like a guy with a car. Fun times.
9:00: Those white Alcos were also called "snow birds"
10:51: 'Cornell Red' refers to Cornell University (Ithaca NY) school colors.
11:40: The opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 resulted in the loss of a significant portion of their Great Lakes-Atantic business (grain, ore) to lower cost ocean-going vessels.
❤ the History of the Trains and History Itself Fantastic 😊
I ❤ seeing two Trains 🚆 Pass Each other 😊
Those Alco 636's were certainly made to look (and sound) the part....
