Old trains , the simplicity of beautiful POWER!! 💖
Crazy to think those locomotives were the most modern vehicles at the time of the recordings
Doesn't seem crazy to me. Technology moves fast and this was long ago
@@joel.ha. very true but when you think about how far technology has come in the past 100 + years yeah it is crazy to think about it back in these recordings
And many of the cars in our iPhone videos are the most modern vehicles we have, too. It's all a matter of ⏳⏳
What do you mean by 'crazy'? You have no idea how wonderful the railroads were. Or did you imagine trains served the same function as your personal automobiles?
The water trough at the end was an interesting way to take on water without stopping at a water tower. Cool old footage.
0:50 The PRR NEC over the CNJ/B&O at Elizabeth New Jersey
Very valuable films of old steam train operations at the end of the19th Century!
I wish I were there.
Based on the presence of the St. Clair Tunnel and Grand Truck Railway boxcars, at least part of this was filmed in the general area of Port Huron, Michigan.
Amazing! Thank you for your great effort.
A step back in time......
I love how people would wave at them.
Great selection of music! Very fitting score.
Imagine how lucky you have to be to be able to record a steam engine in their golden age.
Fabulous choice of music!
I heard the shitters just emptied out on the track, while you were rolling.
the train at 8:38 is actually the New York Central 999 on her famous speed run
edit: 8:55 is basically the same footage but mirrored and colours inverted
This is still better than current Indian Railroads
Native American. lol
@@redwatch1100 Indian as in India. Their railroads are a bit rough.
@@jacktherailfan3264 LOL but their trains seem more faster than ours
Very interesting
This is great
You know what just hit me? Everybody in this video is dead. Not to be morbid,... really just appreciation this moment right now.
Lol..at 1:51 it looks like some kind of troll pestering the worker swinging the hammer by smacking in the butt with two towels.
What a great time to be alive that was.
With all of the diseases that were rampant then? With the streets full of horse manure? With the air redolent with the aroma of coal smoke (and horse manure)?
@@OldsVistaCruiser When people tell me that I ask if they've ever looked at headstones in an old cemetery. Too many, too young, gone too soon.
Do you mind if I ask where you got the public domain footage? I was wanting to find some old train footage for a music video.
Thank you!
I have to admit, I really like the music in this. Do you know what it’s called?
Отличные кадры !!!
In the seen with the track workers. If you watch the locomotive goes by. You'll see that it's a Camelback locomotive
Watching this makes me think red dead 2 looks too old and not industrial enough
Watch the very fast acceleration @2:15
nice to see the cars without all the stupid graffiti all over them. There was a lot of hard work and terrible lifespans, but at least the people knew how to animals away from normal society.
The first rail fans!!!
Whose musical commentary is it?
I didn't even know they had video cameras back then
Sigh. They didn't. This is FILM. The first movie camera was in 1888.
... happy train day!
Man, picking up water from those troughs (I guess that's what it is at the end) must've been a dodgy business. Imagine not getting it back up time and then SMASH into the end of the trough. I hope it was idiot-proofed and broke off or whatever instead of ripping a hole in the footplate.
They were made flimsy so that they would snap off, so there weren't any holes in the tender. Mostly made of thin sheet metal.
@@SanDiego_Railfan Oh, OK. Thanks for.that.
waa
is this footage technically free domain because of its age? I am told anything before 1924 is free to use
Why do I get the feeling that the trains and scenery are actually in colour and it’s only the footage that’s in black and white.
Colour wasn't invented until beginning of the 20th century. Before that everything and everyone was black and white.
@@wonsiorgasiciel6509 It was a dumb joke coming from the fact that I always end up wondering what the actual colour would be under the b&w. But then I guess many of these objects are still around. And then there is also coloration of old footage.
@@accentontheoff Yeah I got it hence my ironic reply
@@wonsiorgasiciel6509 :)
We did not build these
Right, it was done by graduates of Hogwarts' Engineering School.
FFS get off the nutcase conspiracies and read some history.
