The NYC Lighting Stripers are all here. All the first diesels: DES-2, FT, F3, E-8, the largest fleet of Alco PSs and FAs in the world, even Baldwin Sharks and an FM C-liner, all of them covered wagons. You’ll see A-B-B-A lash ups on ore trains, solid refrigerator and Pacemaker freight. Includes the Aerotrain and the jet propelled RDC doing 184 MPH.
Passenger Operations feature the Putnam branch, 125th St station, Mott Haven Yard. More than half the tape is devoted to the world renowned New York Central fleet of long haul streamliners: The New England States, The Empire State Express, The Pacemaker, The Commodore Vanderbilt, plus dozens more and featuring, of course, the train of legend, the Twentieth Century Limited. All of them are shown rocketing down the four track, 90 MPH raceway of the famed “water level” route.
Transferred from original 16mm footage shot by the railroad itself, much of the footage never previously shown.
Narration. Sunday River Productions programs may feature Color film, B&W film, Music, Dubbed Sound and still photos.
