Morristown & Erie - Archive Footage

The footage in this video isn't meant to be anything special, just some old footage of Morristown & Erie ALCO C424s 18 & 19 in action. This is actually the only video we have of 19 in service. Anyway, enjoy this Throwback footage from the M&E.

We will miss those two beasts.
They served M&E well…

The days when the M&E actually had customers, good times.

Cool video

[@clevelandrailfan9776]

Nice vid, did this line shut down or something?

[@PennRailVideos]

There are many changes since when this footage was taken. ALCOs retired, the M&E is now only the Whippany Line.

[@atsfevan0242]

Wait what do you mean of only footage or 19 on service? Is it rarely used?

[@PennRailVideos]

This is OUR only footage of the engine in service.

[@PennRailVideos]

Both engines have since been retired. 18 is out at the IRM to be restorized as TP&W 800, and 19 is in Boonton, NJ owned by Tri State HS.

[@Genesis-ni4ew]

are these just on the Morristown and Erie rail? Just learning about this. Did they shut down any rails or they just retired the trains
