- Footage of Lehigh Valley passenger trains "Major", "Black Diamond", and "Maple Leaf" exchanging power with PRR GG-1s at NK Tower, then Manville and Flemington Jct. The film concludes at Pattenburg tunnel.
An excellent film. Great scenes of engine changes, semaphores, and no graffiti on the freight cars!
The late 50's, the last of the greatest days for America. Contrast this with just 10 years later.
This was the views that made me love railroading both actual and model. Love those 40" Tuscan box cars, Alcos and GG1's.
So cool to see the manville sign and its water tower. I was just 2 years old then and lived a few miles away in millstone. In 1965 id watch the LehighValley trains go by from from my 5th grade class room at Flagtown.
I run trains on this trackage in 2024, it is awesome to see how things were 70 years ago, we could sure use those passenger trains again!
And I used to run trains there fifty years ago…….
Exceptional historical footage. Thanks for putting this online!
Cool film, i am from NJ and seeing places that some have changed,this little film is a treasure.I wonder how many more films like this are out there in somebody's attics or cellars,thanks for posting. 👍
SENSATIONAL! I was just a little young to ride the LV.
To this day the Lackawana terminus at Hoboken is my favorite train station in the country.
Great footage! Didn't know the Maple Leaf carried CN cars. From the consist it appears ridership was still decent then.
Flemington junction is awesome 😊
Thank you for sharing. Very much enjoyed.👍
Fabulous! Great color and action!

Tremendous assembledge!!❤
Excellent! Lowered volume on projector noise is perfect!
excellent clips!
Thank you for uploading
Thank you for not trying to add train sounds.
A man that noise again 😂😂😂😂just kidding. Great video 👍
Last train the Maple Leaf with 250,000 riders. Could not take the loss of mail and package express income ! In 1967 loss of this business nationwide would bankrupt the whole industry. Oct 1967. Under funded Amtrak four years later would be the result. Gas was maybe 25 cents a gallon. Public interest demands return of these Valley trains.
Wonderful! No graffiti!
NO SOUND INTERESTING!
No sound is boring
Sounds like someone popped a balloon. Pre covered cement hopper days with those gondolas and cement containers.
