PRR invented High speed travel in my opinion. its a shame so many Pennsy steamers were scrapped but at least we have a few left like 3750, 6755, 1361, 520, 7002, 1223, and soon 5550

Dude, the K4s were speed demons. They could easily go 90+mph when needed. One book, "Pennsy Power" by Alvin Staufer, states that once, an engineer got his K4 up to 98mph on straight track.

I love the toilet flush just after 0:30 and the reaction of the photographer in the shot. No holding tanks in those days. That's why there were signs in the bathrooms telling you not to flush while the train was stopped in a station and why trainmen locked the bathrooms when the train was in a major terminal. I imagine that track workers of that era learned to step well away from the track when a train passed by.

@yankinga 10 жыл бұрын

dcoursey82 It sure is. When I was a kid the LIRR fleet had toilets that opened to the roadbed. The bathrooms were locked in Penn Station and remained locked until the train exited the tunnels in Queens. I presume the same applied at the Brooklyn Flatbush Terminal and possibly even in Jamaica Station. It wasn't until the M-1 cars showed up that retention tank toilets appeared on the LIRR.

@cheesemunster12 Dude, I have no idea what division was where or what cities were in it, but the fact of the matter is that the snow shots were most definitely taken at South Amboy, NJ, which DID have caternary up because GG1s carrying passengers from NY would interchange with steam here. Look up my video "Vintage Footage of PRR K4s"...there's a scene of South Amboy there minus the snow and you can definitely tell its the same location.

That depends on the person, William. Granted, steam locomotives were much more exciting (I was born about 10 years too late to see revenue steamers), but even today's trains have something to see, if you know where and how to look. Railfanning was also a lot different in the 1950s, less formal and more laid back. Even in the 70s when I was a kid, it was more laid back and approachable than today. I still wave to the train crews. Most of them wave back or give me a horn salute.

They skipped the recording of the middle of the train in the video so you're seeing the beginning of the train while the guys walking along the tracks and then it cuts to the end of the train where the guy has already moved out of frame. If you stare at the train the whole time you'll see the video skip.
