    The town of Ramsey always feels cozy. I think it's one of the best downtowns of northern NJ.

    I was looking for you. When you were in waldwick/Ramsey I was in Secaucus. We have to rail together soon. I didn't see 4502 deadhead back on X116 I had to get home. I took the last 3900 train to Trenton. Great catch of SU99 I've been wanting to get that train for the longest but I never know when it runs. I hope you had a great Christmas and Amazing Video!

    I commuted from Suffern to NYC throughout the 1980s, including taking the NJT train from Suffern, later Ramsey, to Hoboken and then PATH to Manhattan. Different equipment back then. I switched to Ramsey because they had a free commuter lot and it wasn't too far from where I lived in Suffern.

    It's interesting that those GP40PH locomotives we're originally built for New Jersey Central in the '60s to replace their aging fleet of Fairbanks Morris train master locomotives and the Baldwin double cab baby face locomotives correct me if I said the name of the locomotive wrong

    At 6:25 is that engine a GE? I've always been curious about that engine. It looks similar to a P32.

      @@3985uprr Oh you were all over , well I spent my four years in N Carolina, Seymour Johnson AFB and a few months in Kunsan AB in S Korea. Sometimes i wish I should have stayed. I cqn't help wondering how you keep trackk of all the locos even b efore they come iinto view. The scenes of Bear Mtr..bring back memories of the Hudson River trips we took in the late fifties. I enjoy listening to your accent, too, that tri-state area sound I use to have when I lived in NYC. Four years in N.C. took care of that.. keep up the good work
