1961 Action On The New York Central And New Haven | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

CNJ 3676OGR Forum Member

Here's interesting silent film of New York Central and New Haven action filmed primarily in and around the New York City Metropolitan Area in 1961. Many different types of vintage motive power are seen. I particularly enjoyed the scenes of GCT-Mott Haven equipment moves powered by the S-motors.

The film is credited to Mr. Walter Berko, a former PRR, Penn Central and Conrail employee who founded Railroad Video Productions, best known for programs of cab rides over many different railroads.

I was unable to embed the video in the post so here's the link:

Excellent! Nothing like a little P-motor and Jet action to liven things up

Thanks for posting Bob! I enjoyed seeing the vintage cars almost as much as the vintage trains!
