I rode those trains in the 40's & 50's. That's a fact.

Eliot,  Thanks for posting this video of the event.  It looks like something any NYC fan would have loved.

Awesome video. Wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting.

That was a super video , Great JOB !!!

Thank you for your work creating and posting that.  Most interesting.

luv the postwar lightweight passenger cars.

 

Great job Eliot with the video.

Thank you much

That was really swell Eliot - Thanks for posting this!

The video brings back great memories.  When I first went to college, early 60's. I took the 20th century from Grand Central to Poughkeepsie, 18 year old big shot, I had a couple of drinks in he bar car then dinner.  Those car look exactly the same as I remember.

thanks so much

Great video Eliot. It looks like the guy at the end was trying to get away

Hi Eliot,

 

Thanks very much for posting such an awesome video with all the great info. I really enjoyed it. Boy those passenger car interiors are beautiful.

 

 

Thanks, Alex

Very cool! Thanks for posting.

He just saw that someone was thinking of stealing some of his hair.

 

Good summery of the event. But not the three hours I waited with 3 kids. 

Thank you for the video, it was really great.

Eliot GREAT Job on the vid. Thank you for sharing with us!!!!

Thanks for posting. I didn't get to go so your video was a great treat1

Great filming.

Who was the lady at the very end signing the photos looked like some move star?

James

Nicely done, Scrappy!  That was a whole lot of fun to watch!

Thanks so much for the video!  I couldn't attend but your video makes up for it.

 

I wonder what vintage Subway cars were running on the shuttle?  My favorite are the Lo V's that used to run on the IRT.   

 

That Milw Rd passenger car was really impressive.  What a knockout, eye catching paint scheme.

 

James...the lady at the end of the video, who is signing photos, is one of NYC's hostess/nurse who worked for the NYC and who rode the 20th Century Limited, I believe.  Skip, or any NYC fans, help me out here.  I remember reading an article in the NYC Historical magazine featuring her; I just cannot locate that issue now.

Wow, Eliot that was a great video, thanks for doing it. A fantastic event, we should hire a train some time. How about it OGR forumites?

Nice video. i enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing it.

Very nice Eliot.  Beautifully done!  Thanks for all of your effort and for sharing it with us!  Bo

hey scrappy, your music track was obliterating your commentary.

Eliot, that was an awesome video, thanks so much for sharing with us.  Looks like you all had a really great time.  Sure wish I could have been there to see all that.  Those cars were very nicely done.

Eliot,

 

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.  I felt like I was there along for the tour.  Maui Don is not the only person who's jealous.  This is now on my bucket list.

James,

 

The lady's name was Joan Jennings Sclafani and she was "Century Girl" Joan Jennings (hostess/stewardess) on the 20th Century Ltd between 1959 and 1961. She had been featured in an article in the Buffalo News not too long ago. She served many famous people, politicians, former presidents, Frank Sinatra and many more. She was wearing a replica of her original uniform and looked pretty darn good! Real good!

Great video...thanks for posting it! As you were touring the 20th Century cars, I was looking for Eva Marie Saint.
