Great pictures, great music, thanks from Germany

MyDadworked on the Erire Lakawanna for 42 years. He was an electrician and mechanic. He retired in 1976. I grew up with trains.

A KZfaq video without a Google Fi commercial! Will wonders never cease? Ride the Erie!

My parents used to have several inches of coal dust in their attic. We saw the last Phoebe Snow go through. Dad took us on an excursion train ride when I was little loved it. Love the scenery plus the leisurely time. Miss those days.

My favorite line the big E

I actually used to live less than half a mile away from Mountain Station in south Orange and I also lived right next to the tracks. Incredible to see what used to go by my apartment building.

My Uncle Bob, Lived in Callicoon NEW York !! My Brother and I would Take the ERIE Railroad to Visit Him Every Summer !! Leaving From Ridgewood N.J. To the Callicoon STATION ! What a Trip!!! IT'S ALL Gone Now!! What A SHAME !!!!!!

Loved the trains! My Dad took us on an excursion on one once. It was awesome. Relaxing.

My grandfather worked on the Erie Lackawanna rail road all of his adult life, it was well over fifty years. The train tracks were right behind their home in Hornell, New York. As a child in the early fifties i grew up loving the trains and where they carried my grandmother and i to visit relatives in Pennsylvania. Precious memories!

One of my good friends' father worked the EL in Binghamton for 30 years. I had the pleasure of riding the train (which left Binghamton at 4AM) to Hoboken and back. The passenger route closed up there, I believe, in 1971. Keith you are a wonderfully prolific Imus poster, which I do thank you for, as well as for the railroad videos which came as a surprise!! PS For 20 years or so starting in the early 70s, I used to run train crews, in my cab, from Binghamton, as far as Buffalo and points in-between and as far as Port Jervis going south and east out of Binghamton.

My grandparents lived o the main line of the Lackawanna on the west side of Painted Post, N.Y. I used to spend my summers there as a child. I still remember the house shaking when the freights went by in the middle of the night. I also remember taking the New York Central from Detroit to Buffalo, taking a cab from the New York Central terminal to the Lackawanna terminal, and riding the Phoebe Snow to Corning. It is interesting to note that in many places, the main lines of the Erie and the Lackawanna were less than 100 yards apart in that part of New York State. Good memories.

Great video! Thank you.

Great sound editing on the silent Super 8 pix, by someone. Thanks for putting it up!

Especially like the onboard videos at speed on jointed rail as from 12:40 to 13:25 (especially) but also 16:55 to 17:12 and 23:28 to 24:07. They are so hard to find either on You Tube or on commercial videos for sale.

Love those smoking alco switchers

These are great shots of the various trains.

I was at Marion 1 year after the end. 1977. I saw those boxcars without wheel sets. Must have been 4 dozen of them there. The yard was empty.

superb video.

Great video

Nice video, Thanks !

Man im glad we dont get snow stroms like that anymore, im too old for it and not a kidd.

It's too bad the Lake Cities didn't survive a little longer. Maybe it could have been turned over to Amtrak in 1971. I notice many EL long distance passenger trains had former Erie E8s on the point.

Like the video, but can you tell me the name of the music intro sounds wonderful.
