Are these E8s two of the four Conrail units used on their Office Car Specials? I know CR had at least three E8s, but maybe four. Two were purchased by a private owner, who painted them into Pennsylvania Railroad colors. Another was inherited by Norfolk Southern (I think?) but they didn't keep it.
No, these are former NJ Transit units once used on the New York and Long Branch runs, owned by a railfan group in New Jersey. CR had 3 E8s, two former Amtrak née PRR numbered 4020/4021. The third one was 4022, ex EL née Erie. All 3 went to NS, sold to Benett Levin. He restored the 2 PRR units for excursion service and sold the ex EL unit to the New York and Greenwood Lake RR. It currently sits at Port Jervis NY.
Beautiful video! As a newbie, I got to ask, is it ok to use the old logos and colors on that vintage trains / locomotives? Seems like no one is holding the copyrights anymore. I just love locomotives with a beautiful vintage livery but I was always thinking, hmmm, no copyright issues here..?
E8's are coming back to the Stourbrige Line Summer of 2016!! Make sure if you visit the Honesdale area that you book a ride for a fun excursion along the Lackawaxen River! www.thestourbridgeline.net/
I saw several Arrow 1 coaches, which were later in use by Metro North / NJDOT
Yes, the horn is most unfortunate: a Leslie S-2 squawking, as they did so often; Erie E-8s had Nathan M-3s.

@@fmnut Wikipedia shows that Erie Lackawanna had 23 E8s, and that 14 of them were ex-Erie units.

I'm assuming this is the one parked at Port Jervis
Tommy Haynes No, the one at Jervis was CR 4022 at the time of the video
Good video, too bad the horn was so out of tune!
