Railfan, professional railroader and amateur historian Lee Avis shot the CNJ in and around Philadelphia in the 1950s. We also see some 1960’s Communipaw Yard action from the cameras of other railfans. This is rare footage now brought to you edited and transferred to DVD. Watch 4-6-0 camelback steamers with CNJ passenger trains and heavy 0-6-0 switchers, 800 Class 4-6-2’s, roundhouse and turntable action including a Camelback on the table (a Trainmaster too!) and more around the engine servicing facility.
Many engines/scenes are subtitles. Silent “film” now on DVD. No narration/sound.

This DVD covers steam and diesel-powered commuter trains on the CNJ during the 50s and 60s, along with some excursions pulled primarily by Camelback locomotives.

A trip back in time to witness everyday work on the CNJ is very decent to see, as well as a variety of Steam power plus some early diesels which they have since been retired, displayed, sold to museums, and sadly gone for scrap. Not to mention being merged. Overall, good compilation, decent trains, and fine memories as these films will take you back way before the internet, social media, and also online shopping.
