I was shooting B&W's and slides along the E-L around this time, but never got the variety and the terrific views taken by the Bednars. Mike's narration makes these all the better. Great stuff that everyone thought would always be there, along with semaphores and Camelbacks, right?
My grandparents lived on the DL&W main line west of Painted Post, N.Y. I spent many a summer day watching the trains go by. I also rode the Phobe Snow from Buffalo to Corning, N.Y. a few times. Great experiences.
At :50 a cameo shot of 3067 the RED BARON. I saw 3067 still in pure CNJ just after CR August 1976. Sharonville , OHIO. She was scrapped about 15 years ago.
Big Mike could read an instruction manual out loud and it still be entertaining.
Just love all this old footage; who would’ve thought back in the day it’d be so priceless?
As a young teenager I rode the train from Hoboken, NY to Elmira, NY. I wish it was running today.
This is remarkable good film quality! Looks beautiful!!! Love the ERIE!!!
Thanks for the tour Mike. You are great to listen to .
Beautiful. I know what I want for Christmas this year!

1:11 Lackawanna Station is now a hotel for Scranton. Steamtown had their equipment displayed there at one point.

I wish someone had film of the freight trains going over the Delaware water gap viaduct
Beer, hard boiled eggs and hot dogs. Wow.
Yeah, the resulting mixture is why the nose door and windows were open in 30-degree weather. Take a deep breath!
Boiled eggs and hot dogs 😂🤣😂
Plus Beer? Lethal combination XD
