Here's a delightful look at some great old film from around New Jersey. The scenes of the Camelback powered excursion with fans being allowed total access to the facilities are priceless. One inaccuracy I did note is the vignette labeled Bay Head wye was actually taken in Atlantic Highlands. Also, watch for the scenes of the Reading "Crusader" and Lehigh Valley's "John Wilkes":
Enjoy,

That was a very cool video. Thanks for posting.
Great flashback with some excellent locomotives. I especially liked seeing what you could do at railyards before OSHA and corporate liability insurance.
Way cool footage, loved it. Thanks for posting it Bob.
Great video. Brought back memories of day trips to Keansburg via CNJ coach behind a camelback. In the summer, the engineer and fireman were covered in black soot and sweat.
