Pennsylvania Railroad E8s on OCS-100 Across Conrail Shared Assets in New Jersey!

- In conjunction with the Lexington Historical Transportation Group, on October 31st, 2015, Halloween, the Bennett Levin Pennsylvania Railroad E8As ran an Office Car Special ( OCS ) called "The Jersey Devil" utilizing the Northeast Corridor, P&H Branch, the National Docks, Garden State Secondary / Chemical Coast, North Jersey Coastline, Amboy Secondary, Port Reading Secondary, and Lehigh Line. This run was due in part with the Lexington Group's convention that was held in Newark, NJ. Myself along with many friends managed to get this train running somewhere along those several listed lines. I managed to shoot at every line along the way, and bagged 20+ locations in total, including Newark, Port Reading, South Amboy, Parlin, Sayreville, East Brunswick, Spotswood, Helmetta, Jamesburg, and South Plainfield. Special thanks to Chris Healy for assisting in most of today's driving. Enjoy!

Those streamlined diesel locomotives of the 30s 40s and 50s were/are so much nicer than the ones built since! I wish they would start making them again.
I dont know sir because tgey are old,America must built very modern future locomotive,in fact streamliner must Die forever and no wake up again because the Each is very old! Huhh that was a crazy but yaaaaa we have future Freight Bullet train
Hearing that is sad but ya you know if American still make streamliner Run Across America again,the Turbo repair has end and the factory of streamliner has close!
The sparepart of this locomotive is was very-very extinction! The new Era is coming!,But the old era is go far away and dead!
😀😀😀😀
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for having us along.
That Pennsylvania Railroad scheme with the huge lettering makes these majestic units seem a mile long each. And, you could see your reflection in that squeaky clean, glossy paint. Beautiful engines running at a nice speed over good track.
Great video! Those E8's were in superb condition!
Reminds me of the L&N “ Hummingbird “ from Cincinnati to Louisiana. Rode it in the mid 50s!
I grew up in that area. I know every bit of those tracks well. Used to fish off the bridge in the East Brunswick shot.
The PRR E8 locomotives are very nice streamlined diesel locomotives.
Who wants to see these beauts running on an excursion with the NS F units along the NS system? Loved the video!
Great job. Production quality is every bit as good as these legacy locomotives deserve. Thank your for sharing this joyous revival with those of us who could never see them in person.
train is beautiful, effort on locations and quality of video is excellent! thank you!
Agreed! If I had a dime for every Saturday and Sunday that my best friend, Stan, and I would spend in that wonderful, old station. It was back in the early 1960's that we both first saw---and fell in love---with our first GG-1! Who-hoo, what a treat that was! We'd watch the old "Hudson Tubes" For being kids of 12 yeas of age, those GG-1's were soooo dang tall and big. Yeah, I know that this is not a video of the GG's, but it opened with a view of Penn Station. Still looks great, even after 60+ years. Thanks so much for posting this video!!
I LOVE TRAIN VIDEOS
Beautiful engines.
This train is great, but I also appreciated the tree colors, I mean the landscape, greetings from Nogales Sonora México.
Bennett Levin, you're the man!
I could hear those Detroit Diesel 12v71 engines in the back of those E8As for head end power....
Bien pintadas, relucientes y elegantes locomotoras ; precioso video. Muchas gracias.
Beautiful photo shots! I have to wonder, was that line electrified at one point? I live near where it connects to the NEC and seeing all the catenary poles relatively intact makes me think.
Really great to see - thank you for posting...
They're absolutely gorgeous
Some great shots particularly the second one of it going over the crossing from side on. It's a pity about those ditch lights they kind of spoil it but then, that's the modern era for you!
Very cool, hitting the same Diamond @ 2: 50 from one direction, then hitting it from another direction @13:40
Very rare catch.
great train video ...
of some great classic PRR power ...
Holy C****! I thought Pennsy was hauling Amtrak! Wouldn't that be cool??
woah! good thing they refurbished the E8/As
caught it at jersey ave on the NEC Saturday night nice catches
Interesting that they didn't run on the Jamesburg branch and rejoin the NEC at Monmouth Jct. Sweet catch on this one! I had my scanner turned off because I was cleaning up leaves in the yard so I didn't hear So. Jersey giving him track warrrants. Otherwise, I would have made it to Jamesburg.
Great captures!
Wish I could have been there. I live in Long Branch. Pennsylvania railroad ran through here.
Nossa!como amo ferrovia norte americana!
do you have that thumbnail photo uploaded to rail pictures? amazing shot
Man a real beauty...
those e8 s are one cool looking locos
those locos are 60+ years old!
Are most not?
Nice shooting!... thanx and
cheers
Man that k3la though. Music to my ears.
like train
Excellent video.
Awesome.
Fantastic video
Thanks for the cool post.
How were the Amfleet cars powered ? did they add some portable HEP generator? or was one of the locos given such during refurbishement ?
Aren't they gone now?
They should still be in use.
The Louisville & Indiana railroad locomotive paint scheme is based off this paint scheme
Smart livery, in the UK she would have to be defaced with a big dirty yellow front. Thank goodness for good taste!
Nice video! Was this train bought by Amtrak?
Were there passengers on it?
that was a cool ass video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know about this trip ahead of time or no? I live about five minutes from Jamesburg and I wish I could've known of this.
+RaritanRiverRailroadFan4 I knew about it a week in advance. That stinks you missed it and live so close to where it ran.
Yeah I know it was a bummer. My friend was actually at a football game in Spottswood and saw it go by. He texted me and I was dumbfounded. It's unlikely, but hopefully it runs hear again someday.
+WATWARE Productions How did you know it was running? I have always wanted to see these units.
This is about as close to Long Island as classic rail will get...very sad.
Wowowowowowowowo
who owns those locomotives
+Jac Galv Bennett Levin owns them.
love the Erasure music!
Doesn’t this remind anyone of silver streak
If only they didn't take down some of the electrification lined
