In addition, vintage film and photos present a few scenes of the railroad as it was in the 1940s. This program features the…
It is not our intent to recreate battle scenes or stories through modern day documentaries. Rather this is what the people on the “Home Front” would have seen during the war.

This program covers the years 1964-1979 along the former Nickel Plate Road from Buffalo to Ft. Wayne (New Haven). Filmed by N&W employee Edward Durnwald, this program is a diesel fan’s Dream. Not only are the varied lash-ups of EMD, Alco and GE units nice, but the many paint schemes and one-of-a-kind units must be seen to be believed.
Part 2 of the EL series picks up where Part 1 left off and covers the years 1970 to 1976. We’ll see EL, Penn Central, Chessie System and Norfolk and Western action at AC Tower and get a look at the Marion Humpyard, a trip down the Dayton Branch, and east of Marion to Galion and Mansfield.

Part One of this two part look at the “Friendly Service Route” takes place in the busy 1960s.
