Life in 1939 on the New York Central

The music goes well with the pictures. I was 9 years old. Thanks for putting this on. I enjoyed it.

Very nice! Thank you.

Thanks Dan. Plenty interesting scenes there! I was curious about the trolley freight line, and I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...orthwestern_Railroad

Also, I wonder what the story was on the train of museum pieces at 3:31?

I will have to catch it tomorrow evening.

I caught that too.  It would be nice if someone here knew something about that.  

What a treasure ! ive passed the westfield depot many times in my career and i cant believe that many of the buildings are still there today. I love this stuff ! Thanks...conrail john

The interurban tracks are still there..side by side west of the depot ....and i noticed the old right of way making a quick down and to the left to get under the Nickle Plate main. Like a roller coaster. Too Cool...crj

Very cool. Thanks for posting the links Dan and Firewood. I get down to that area a few times a year and never knew an interuban line still existed that late in time. Back in the 20s there were many that served western New York but most all were long gone before my time.
