Great info on one of my favorite railroads. Born in St Louis in 1944 I rode the Knickerbocker several times between StL and Anderson Indiana to visit relatives. This trains were mostly powered by EMD E-7s and E-8s I’m sure. I faintly remember once in the early 1950s a steam locomotive helper, probably a 4-6-4 Hudson pulling in front. Those were great trips. Sadly most of the NYC trackage between StL & Terra Haute has been taken up. Even worse the great StL Union Station is now of all things, a giant aquarium.
Very good and informative film! Thanks for sharing. Only wish that one of this caliber was done on the diesels of the Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast line, Southern, ETC
