L&HR NYS&W L&NE The Susquehanna in Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2021
- A short film from the Prelinger Archives, this one has a visit to Warwick, NY on the L&HR, followed by scenes of multiple RS-1's on freights on the NYS&W including a cab ride and interchange with the L&NE. Then some scenes of the EMD GP20 demonstrators attempting to generate a sale to the Susquehanna, followed by the result of that demo, the delivery of 3 new GP18's to the NYS&W from the Erie at Campbell Hall, NY (I'm assuming this location, correct me in the comments if I'm wrong). Finally, a short commuter train somewhere in New Jersey and a GP18 powered local in the late 60's. Sounds added from my video library and Arkay Records. Enjoy!

The first short L&HR clip (not sure of the location) is before 1960; the rest of the L&HR footage is from the the road's centennial in 1960- the yard shot with #3 and #10 is at Maybrook, the rest are in Warwick.
I have fond memories of the old “Suzy-Q” in northern NJ back in the 60’s and early 70’s! Thanks for posting!
Nice footage of vintage railroading!
Another gem, superb job by the sound effects department, give them a raise.
It's been impossible to find recordings of multiple Alco 539 engines working together. I had to blend single unit sounds in multiple to get the effect. I'm not totally happy but it's the best I can do with what's available. Also impossible is in-cab sound with the diesel really working hard. Thanks to a PKP Cargo SM48 for solving that issue, as the Penza diesel is a copy of the 539.
Some nice NYSW video that I had not seen before! Thanks!
Always appreciate LHR, LNE and Q movies!!!
Great footage as always, especially with the NYSW 2 coach passenger train.
You always find amazing film. With out you many of these scenes would be completely lost to time
Four RS-1's on the move, great footage, thanks for sharing.
A first for me seeing L&HR. Great videos. Excellent work. Thank you.
Nice. So that's what a GP-20 looks like when new. Them RSs looked like they seen a mile or two.
Thank you. I had almost forgotten what a 539 sounded like.
Ah, those are GP-20 demo's. Neat! I've not seen those before, nor any Suzy Q footage & so many RS-1's coupled together either. That really is something to me. Very neat footage!
Yes. The demos are noted in the description. Thanks.
Wow, great footage, thx for uploading!! 👍
I memories of LNE, NYSW, and L&HR!!
What’s that funny looking red car with the windows at the end of the train? 😁
Love those Alco RS-1s. They seemed like real workhorses!
First time I ever saw all three GP18s on one train!
what a treasure! thanks
Believe the delivery of those Geeps was actually Passaic Junction (BT)
You're probably right, that would have been a longer haul for the Erie thus more revenue.
@@fmnut also believe for what it's worth. The shot of the 4 rs-1s shoving off their train with the diamond in the foreground is Sparta. They're shoving off on what we called the "Limecrest storage" which was then the L&HR interchange. Great stuff
7:05 looks like KB Lumber in Ridgewood NJ...
Known as Midland Park Lumber when I worked there 1988-92. At the Goffle Rd crossing.
Definitely looked like Kuiken
I was curious. Did John Treen do any video of the Susquehanna?
Never saw any films by him. He did a lot of his photos while on the job, so carrying a movie camera and associated gear may have been a bit much.
@@fmnut cant argue with that, I work for a railroad myself and with these times I have to be a bit more cautious.
