Rarest Multiple Unit Consist I Ever Saw In My Life Back In 1993 SF, SP & BN B-Units - Video

Several Chicago & North Western 2-bay covered hoppers that most likely have been sold by UP.

There were several SOO LINE box cars which have been painted over by now.

There were a the two former Penn Central/Conrail double-plugged door box cars for KELX that have now been scrapped.

Andrew, yes though's were on this train. Amazing how railroads can just scrap a piece of history. I have to say this in the video below -

Are we now expecting the railroads to preserve everything they ever owned?

No, I know they won't do that. But on a note, I just seen a freight this past Tuesday in Mentor that had this - 

Excellent! Yes, will never see that again.

There are other ways to transfer video from VHS. I have a PCI TV tuner card that has baseband inputs that you can record the baseband output of a VCR; I think its called composite video, the inputs are yellow for video, then white (left stereo), and red (right stereo).

Dennis & Mike, thank you so much. Dennis, yes my parents grew me up on trains. Especially my dad. Yes, also the graffiti on today's trains is 100% more then it was back in 93. There's a train called the UP Produce Express or Salad Shooter Bowl that travels on the CSX Erie West Sub that's Q090 & Q091 which I saw back in Jan 2015 in Perry Ohio and you can call it the graffiti express to if you want as in the video below I got. Mike, yes your right, you'll never seen that again unless at a museum. As for VHS conversion, I've thought about that, but right now I'm sticking with just placing the video camera in front of the TV and recording it the way you see it. But thank you for giving some input.

Thanks Hartman for liking my topic.
