WOW ! It's so nice to see old stuff running around. Especially those old diesel engines (S & SW), arch and betterdorf trucks, men at work, C Liners... This is A VERY NICE footage. It would've been marvelous it was in color on top of that. Buut it's very nice anyway. Many thanks for sharing it with us.
Within a decade the last steam would be gone, the cabooses too, and the men who worked in and maintained them, boilermakers, steam shop crews, brakemen, firemen, all redundant. If they could only have seen their future the way the number crunchers in suits did...
Back when the railroads worked you to death and they still do but it's just not as hard unless they have to lay track and or clean up a spill from jumped train car or two or 3.
When steam stop lots people lost jobs most shop repair in montreal and rest canada.the yard change a lot after hunter harrison show up top.they uograde and get better organize due order bigger locomotive.

As an O gauge modeler this is KOOL BEANZ !
I'm not into Canadian RR , but old film of RR action is still good .....thnx for posting
Nice to see these old images of Turcot yard!!
My switchers love them
Nice pictures from the past !
Interesting to see the Fairbanks-Morse units in action. The music was a real foot-tapper!!🎶
That brought back some memories. The old journals. The rip track. No safety vests.
View from a simpler past...
I.never knew and I hauled them on flatbed that the tops of rail cars just sat on top of those trucks.
Loved the flat switching on Conrail back in the day. Proper.
Thank you for sharing this footage!
wow super cool vid you would not see them working outdoors today.
"This wasn't in my job description!!!" - those F-M opposed piston marine engines
Wish those days were back
To Time Date this awesome Video. By about April 1960, Steam Engines were done Operations on Canadian National Railways Tracks.
Nice footage 👍🏻
Thanks for the upload!!
Great Video
Awesome to see the way it was in action god so much would not happen today because of safety and so many jobs lost no longer required.
Nice video didn’t know that they had c units
CNR C-Liners were regular road units on the Central Vermont
very nice
Amazing! 👍
Two riders on the fork lift, safety infraction.
Old times! From which year is the movie from? I suppose the music belonged to the movie originally.
1958 NFB train 406. thanks for watching
@@doorlayout3137 Because of 9:09-9:13 I thought it's a bit older recording.

This is incredible footage, but I had to stop watching, the nostalgia was too overwhelming.
Typically Canadian scene 30 below and they're acting like it's a spring day......
so true !!
