- This is a preview of The Kosin Collection Volume 2. The full program is available from our website shown at the end of the preview
DVD Summary below:
The Kosin collection features super 8mm railroad films photographed by the late George Naugle of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
The collection highlights the Anthracite Railroads Valley and beyond in the last few years of operation and into the beginning of Conrail. Many rare Wyoming Valley locations are captured in the Ashley and Wilkes-Barre areas.
Volume 2 of the Kosin Collection shows scenes of the Lehigh Valley, Delaware & Hudson, Erie Lackawanna and some early days of Conrail from White Haven, over the mountains and into the Wyoming & Lackawanna Valleys in the early to mid-1970s.
As seen in the first volume, trains were running over deteriorating infrastructure with ailing equipment due to deferred maintenance from declining revenue.
Narrated with commentary by Mike Bednar
Color and sound; approximately 65 minutes runtime

John, is there a list of all the DVDs with Big Mike narrating? I want them all.
Hi Bruce, most of our titles are narrated by Big Mike. Our website www.johnpmedia.com lists the details of each DVD, whether it is narrated and by whom.
@@JPMediaRR Thanks, John. I’ll check them out.
By any chance is this how they coined the phrase "rock & roll"? You wouldn't want to leave your coffee on the dash, would you?
Really enjoy watching these
it's really sad that 90% or more of the engines we saw in this are scrapped
It’s always a pleasure to watch the big C628s!
Wow sure do miss railroads of the 70ths!
Wow this is great! It invokes so many fabulous be memories!!
Amazing video!! Got a sub from me!! I had no idea the Lehigh Valley had engines in that white paint scheme... : D
snowbirds as delivered. they were next painted maroon and eventually the Cornell Red. I love them all, had to choose a favorite.
Always a treat. Thank you John P.!
The opening line, "this must be between wrecks" cracked me up.
Mike mentioned that 4 of the white LV 628s made it to CR.
I caught one of these in Sharonville in May, 1977.
6728.
CR blocked out all LV lettering. The poor thing had little white and was mostly black from the blocking out.
IIRC that one got repainted all black at some point and looked like another ex-PC unit.
Very nice video! Never knew that there was a lot more footage of Lehigh Valley until now! Very interesting!
DL runs Alco Locomotives today Which is a Pennsylvania Shortline Railroad that Runs out of Scranton Pennsylvania
This is awesome. Love seeing the old Maine Central box car on the last train.
I model this era on my HO layout, watching this is a great joy and heartbreaking at the same, good look yet dirty diesels, the freight cars are great, but not so tracks, John, Thank you so much!.
The crappy track was an advantage, it allowed us to chase the many great power lash-ups.
“Throttle Eight, don’t be late!” Was the Valleys motto. So what was the CNJ’s?
The old Maine potatoes box cars I use to see all the time. Haven’t seen one in years but maybe that’s because trains don’t come by we’re I live anymore.
Lots more boxcar traffic in those days.
Great stuff indeed!
@ 5:55 who's company boxcars are the rwb ones?
looks like BAR, Bangor & Aroostook. they had several paint schemes, and this was one of the later ones
Love the sound of jointed rail at speed! The Valley diffently had a good verity of road power back in the day!
Thank you
Great video of Lehigh Valley & Delaware &Hudson freight action in the first half of the 1970’s. My favorite railroads that served Northeastern Pennsylvania in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area are & were the Erie Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley & the Delaware & Hudson. 7 members of my family worked for the Lehigh Valley out of Coxton Yard. My great grandfather Stephen Kearney, 4 grand uncles & 2 second cousins were the 7 members of my family that worked for the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
My great great grandmother was a Cornell.
Related to the founders of Cornell University.
LV red was called "Cornell Red."
Wonderful !!!
