@@Unfassbarer Thx!!!
@NASS thanks for sharing the precious
video.
Awesome, this train went right past my home when going from Philly to Atlantic City. This was filmed when my mother and father were about 10 years old. After World War II my father worked for the railroad, I rode on this train line many times as a child, I got to ride in the engine for the final passenger train to Atlantic City from Philly. 🤣
Wow - that is terrific!
much respect to you sir and the rest of your generation...I am from Generation X
You’re quite fortunate.
Congrats for you been now 102 year I was a caregiver for 105 year old man still he remembers everything and tell all his old golden days story.
@@v.a.pvlogger781 🤡
NASS, I don’t know where you find these incredible videos, but I’m addicted to them! It’s like traveling back in time, and your remastering and colorization is nothing short of incredible!
my thought exactly so wonderful hope someone somewhere is keeping them all and sending them to a museum
Many of the films NASS restores are found on the Internet Archives!
The Honeywell Rubber convention was a rousing success. Lana O'Day from accounts receivable was named Miss Latex 1938, Bill Schumacher from production was voted most likely to gain a spare tire, and the company chairman fell into the pool not once but twice. 22 kegs of beer and 14 cases of scotch were consumed ... a smashing time indeed.
No way, are you pulling my condom? 🤔
@@JohnShinn1960 If that condom is covering your leg, yes!
Say Clinton it was a wing-ding alright! Was tickled to see your pickled visage leave there in one piece old man! Willikers did YOU tie one on! And wasn't that you with Miss Latex herself in the ladies room Saturday night? You're a cad Flynn. But I like your style!
Miss Latex😆
I say, Flynn, was that you that crawled out the train window @6:40? That was a right keen feat, ya' topheavy bloke! Hat's off to ya'!
The movie "Convention City," which apparently included the hilarious Honeywell Rubber footage, was shot in 1933 and released in 1934. So far, no complete print of the movie has been found. NASS, great job of restoring this footage!
The year was 1933, the year the Reading Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad PRR consolidated their seashore train service from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. The film starts out at the old PRR Atlantic City terminal at South Carolina Avenue and what later became Bacharach Boulevard, after the train tracks were removed and that terminal was torn down. Note the trolley tracks and trolley wire on South Carolina Avenue. That was the Central Passenger Railway Company line to the Venice Park section of Atlantic City. Train service was consolidated to the Reading Railroad terminal at Arkansas and Atlantic Avenues in 1933, which we see next in the film.
Open 'summer' trolleys of the Atlantic City & Shore Railroad Company can be seen running on Atlantic Ave. The car stop at Arkansas Avenue in front of the P-RSL {ex-Reading} terminal was a major boarding location. The A C & S stationed a street supervisor at that location. The trolley seen at 4:09 on the time bar shows a trolley heading Downbeach to Douglas Avenue in Margate. The concrete trolley boarding island platform at Arkansas Avenue can be seen in front of the train terminal. Note the illuminated caution light on it to warn motorists. It was rare for Atlantic City to have fixed, raised car stop platforms. Most car stops had chains attached to posts which were portable and could be moved out of the way for parades. Open 'summer' trolleys operated in Atlantic City until 1938, when all the remaining ones were scrapped and burned in 1939.
The author of a book on the history of Atlantic City, Vicky Gold Levy, whom I helped and contributed material for her book, gave me a VHS copy of this film many years ago. I have lived in Atlantic City for seventy of my years and am a transportation historian. I have an enormous collection of memorabilia, which includes scale models of the Atlantic City trolleys. That includes the open 'summer' cars.
Convention special trains were regularly operated to Atlantic City. However, upon very close and careful examination of what's in the background, I'm willing to admit the Honeywell and Ever Ready convention trains were not in Atlantic City. It appears the Hollywood movie studio, Warner Brothers in September of 1933 for the movie "Convention City", made up those banners that were hung on the sides of the coaches. All the people acting drunk and having a good time were obviously extras. And they obviously made up and hung the Atlantic City station sign too. So I'll eat crow....lol.....

Thank you I was wondering where the building was. I thought maybe it was the old bus station but it didn’t look the same. What is the cement bridge in the background? I don’t recognize any of it I guess most of it is gone.I guess it’s the White Horse pike
Jeff, I'm impressed. It takes a big man to admit he was wrong. Gone is the authoritarian "I dare anyone to tell me this isn't Atlantic City, New Jersey" (or something like that) definitive, replaced by "...I'll eat crow...lol" I salute you, sir. Also gone is my down vote for your original, unedited comment; I now give you a thumbs up.
@@michaela.chmieloski3196 Michael, I don't know how to be anything but honest. I'm from and raised in a different era. I even remember when politicians told the truth or resigned in shame. Now they simply keep lying, waiting for it to be believed. Greek cynic philosopher Diogenes is holding his lantern looking for me and the rare breed like me these days. He's still searching for an honest man...lol....
Looks around 1933, record number of straw "boater" hats on the guys, and "top" hats on the old gents overlooking the train. Nice touch with the band music NASS. Keep up the fine work!
Rich, I tend to agree. My best guess 1931-1934. Yes even a few men wearing white Panama hats and fedoras, along with the hats you mentioned. . This has to be early 1930's !
I'd say after prohibition by the looks of those convention train passengers.
@@rogerwilcojr they look well lubricated, huh!
@@sonnycorleone2602 absolutely sonny!
The color looks great! The picture is so clear it almost looks like it could have been filmed just yesterday. The people are hurriedly walking to their destinations just like we are today. Of course no one knows what the future brings -- just try to enjoy every day to the fullest.
Just like a modern day but we know it was circa 1930s.
Most probably nit later then 1932, according to car design in this film...
No one is on their phone looking down, walking and texting.
Wow, no obese people!
Well there was a lot of things going on at the Atlantic City Station back then. I love how well dressed everyone was, full suit and hat. People wasn't afraid of crossing in front of the train, even if it's slowing down..
The first half of this video is really fascinating just to think that the mass produced automobile was still relatively new and how well society quickly adapted to them versus 30 years prior where there was only the train and horse and buggy. Also, notice the electric trolley car which was also relatively new as well as electricity. Also fascinating how the first half was shot around the time of the great depression yet in this video the economy looks to be robust. Many people still had a job back then. Also, this was about 10 years before Hitler and WWII. It was amazing how fast things were changing here in the US as well as around the world. I've seen changes in my lifetime over the last 40 years but nothing like the early twentieth century. Videos like this are very very historical and will continue to be for many many generations to come. We cannot begin to appreciate our future if we don't appreciate the past.
Well, actually Hitler became absolute dictator of Germany in March of 1933 with the passage of the "Enabling Act". So any of this footage taken after that date meant it was already Nazi Germany. By 1936, German troops were already re-taking the Rhineland.
Research the Columbian Exposition, Chicago worlds fair.
@@Desert_Ov_Thee_Real Cool - Thanks!!!!
Watching such old films - the old sceneries and people are healing to the mind and soul. I too have become addicted to enjoying watching such old scenes. People in those days seem to be worry-free and happy. May God bless the souls of those who have departed. Thank you for sharing such beautiful historic films.
This is rare footage discovered in the 1990's for the lost 1933 Warner Brothers film "Convention City".
1:52 This is a street side view of the Atlantic City Station. Note how the train platforms
terminate at the back of the building.
5:54 This is Santa Fe's "La Grande" station (located at 2nd St. and S. Santa Fe Ave. in LA)
standing in for the track side view of the Atlantic City Station. Originally, I mistakenly thought
this was "Central" station. There are several hints for the identification:
(1) Elevated roadway seen at the back is the 1st Street Viaduct with its distinct architecture
(2) Looming over the back are giant natural gas holding tanks seen in many movies.
(3) The National Ice and Cold Storage ice making plant
(4) The architecture of the platforms
Note how the train platforms are parallel to the station. A technical inconsistency with the
street side view.
The viaduct is only the feature that still exists. The natural gas holding tanks were removed
by the 1960s. The ice plant was sold off in the 1940s and removed sometime later.
The train station was heavily damaged by the March 10, 1933 Long Beach earthquake. It
was partially demolished at that time. In 1939 it was closed and rail traffic moved to the new
Union Station. It was finally demolished in 1946.
Shame the movie can't be had.
I'd like to see it!
I thought it seemed staged w the conventioneers, lol, thanks
That was back when traveling by train was a super exciting adventure.
@Lucky Frank 🍀 sneaking into the girls dressing rooms was
@Lucky Frank 🍀 Shut The Hell Up!!!!!!! Mr. Negative!!!!!!!!!
@Lucky Frank 🍀 Doesn't seem so looking at the people in the vid
The Honeywell Rubber convention footage was filmed in Los Angeles at the Santa Fe Railway La Grand station.
How so, when the signs all say Atlantic City?
That does make sense. That locomotive was clearly AT&SF.
It's actually Southern Pacific's Central Station. However, the train is AT&SF.
@@mknm1349 I will stick to my guns with the spelling correction of "La Grande" station. Central Station had a different design platform roofs.
The quality of the color and clarity of this video makes me feel as if I could reach out and touch the people and activities of this time period and generation. This was the time when my grandparents (who have long since died) were in their young adulthood. Clearly, your videos are like a "virtual" time machine!
At 5:00 "The party train arrives!" LOL. I LOVE IT ! Thank's for upload. Love your vintage scenes ! 😃
At 6.09 one of the passenger coming to the convention is completely drunk !!
@@brayundia Heck yeah, that dude was gassed!
Another decided to exit through a window, haha! If you've ever been around these old passenger cars, the windows are way up above the deck. Grant it, he was privileged some crowd surfing.
Lol!!! The passenger who got off at 6:08-6:18 had too many beers!!
That locomotive is a masterpiece.
That fellow getting off the train at 6:07 wearing the party hat is smashed 😂🍾🍺🥴
Lol!!! Totally is!!
I looked up the Honeywell Rubber Company on Wikipedia. It seems that the latter part of this video is from a 1933 Movie called “Convention City.” The movie was centered around a fictitious Honeywell Rubber Company convention. It starred Joan Blondell, Adolf Menjou, Dick Powell, and Mary Astor. It was a pre-code sex comedy that was later banned and all prints were ordered destroyed.
So, NASS, do you have a print of this lost movie?
Your sound work on this one is the best yet, in my humble opinion. The colorization and correcting the speed of human motion is always amazing!
This is 85 to 90 years old, but it is still more modern than some of the places on this earth that exists right now.
I am guessing, but from the clothes and cars, 1934-1936 perhaps.
Love these old films it's like going right back in time.
Thank you for sharing them
I love them all very great job you do. Take care...
Some of those guys getting off that train were hammered. Next scene and they're getting back aboard. Must have been worlds shortest convention. Nass, I love these videos. It's a window back in time.
I noticed that too. They weren't too stable walking.
This looks just a few years before my parents were born. Man, time flies! I see that they were celebrating something halfway through this clip. Men in party hats seemed a bit tipsy. Looked like a fun time.
Truvelocity, Yes, this look's around 1931-1934 in my opinion. My parents born 1936.
I worked for the PRSL in the 1970s before it became ConRail. This Atlantic City station was long gone by then
0:48 The locomotive on the arriving passenger train is equipped with a Belpaire firebox and a keystone number plate on the front of its smokebox: classic Pennsylvania Railroad. The PRR and Reading Railroad pooled their locomotive power in the operation of the jointly-owned P-RSL.
4:54 The remainder of the film from this point on was definitely NOT taken in Atlantic City, New Jersey despite what the sign seen at 6:18 reads. The car at 7:51 has "SANTA FE" on its lettering board blacked out. This coupled (sorry, couldn't resist) with the large numbers on the locomotive's tank assuredly makes this an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway consist. Needless to say, the AT&SF didn't run anywhere near New Jersey.
4:54 I suspect they were trying to recreate the train depot that ran down the end of Bacharach Blvd in Atlantic City, which was curved, but not nearly so extremely curved.
Honeywell Rubber Co. is from a lost 1933 movie called "Convention City".
@@buckykattnj I agree with your assessment. @Stalking Horse commented elsewhere that the station pictured is actually in Los Angeles, California--"standing in" for Atlantic City, apparently. If one thinks about it, placing the station sign where it is seen makes no sense other than as a visual for the motion picture camera.
Thank you. I couldn’t imagine where that big bridge was in Atlantic City.
@@buckykattnj where was the station? I thought maybe it was the old bus station but it doesn’t look the same
@@Helen-hy3gv The Old Bus station was a P.R.R. station before the Expressway was built into Atlantic City in '65. Before that, the original P.R.R. station was at Atlantic Ave between Missouri and Arkansas until the 1950s when Columbus Park was built and the P.R.R. station was moved behind Arctic Ave. There was also a train station at the end of what is now Bacharach Blvd between City Hall and North Carolina Ave.
Atlantic City used to be criss-crossed with rail... down Bacharach Blvd, Virginia Ave, Georgia Ave down to the convention center.
The first scene is probably Arctic Ave, which cut the train station/yards in half with a series of crossings. The large cylindrical gas tank in the distance is near the modern railroad station.
WOW!! So amazing to see! I just found your channel and I'm addicted..lol
My dad worked as a fireman for PRR in the late 50s and would have really enjoyed this one as he loved everything old trains.🥰
Your work is just spectacular!!🤩😍
6:15 lol that dude was so drunk!!!
That is amazing! A very colorfully accurate, and very high quality film of the P-RSL! Thanks for Uploading this!
These appear to be outtakes from the lost 1933 pre-code film "Convention City." Amazing, because no prints of this film are known to exist!
I think you're right, googled Honeywell Rubber Co. Convention
Stunning and beautiful. Amazing that once, Atlantic City was such a special place. Almost made me cry for the loss of so much history. I didn't get there until the 60s and it was a shadow of this bustle already. Also fascinating to see conventioneers, the already tipsy people, like was described to me by father and grandfather and movies. Great footage and thank you!
P.S. after reading some of the comments about where this was or wasn't, it doesn't matter. I still get New Jersey flavor.
I think there may have been some drinking on that train! Everybody sure is having a great time!
Certainly not! Prohibition, you know...wink...wink
Apparently its footage from an old movie...
Then they stumbled into their cars and drove home, drunk :)
Guy at 5:21 riding the train on the outside while waving. I don't often see that level of enthusiasm today.
BOY. My Parents Would Have LOVED To Have Seen This One. My Dad Would Have Been About 20, And My Parents Vacationed In Atlantic City Before They Were Married. Both Died In 2007 & 2008. Puts Me Back In Their Young Lifetime For Sure. VERY GRATEFULL INDEED NASS...
It was rare back then for anyone to be overweight. 99% of them were all at a healthy 'normal' weight. No exhibitionism either. Everyone is smartly dressed and most people walk places rather than drive. Those in the past were fitter, healthier, they had better manners and had more self respect and respect of others too.
The drunk being helped out the train window upside-down was certainly fit, but I would say he might have had exhibitionistic tendencies...
The train scene is fantastic!
The thought of a huge world war brewing with Hitler in just a couple of years and lasting until 1945 is really stunning to think of.
Looks like the Honeywell folks were having a good ol' time, detraining from the windows, etc. and probably drinking their lunches, etc.
This was so cool, that guy climbing outta the window of the carriage haha , another great video and as always I wondering what they all got up to when they went home, they all dressed so smartly and cool
Those convention goers looked pretty hammered. At 6:09 - what is that guy wearing on his head?
It seems bunny ears.
Amazing! Such a different, relaxed world
Relaxed?
AWESOME video👍💖👍
You know that must've been a hot, uncomfortable train ride when people are jumping out of the windows to get out. LOL!
This is amazing how to look back seeing these time and today's time. You see respect and how they dressed then. Men wearing those straw hats and way it looks its round in middle where it sits on they're heads seem8like it wouldn't fit. But the work on coloring is amazing and great job on it. I been watching a lot of your videos.. its peaceful and to think the person filming these knowing it will be shown way in the future. More like how people film now but with cellphones..imagen go back in time and pull out cellphone..of course it wouldn't work but be able to record and take pictures and letting them see it..
Those Honeywell Rubber Company people knew how to party!
It's always interesting to see how things were back then. Even better seeing the people walk the streets like they were alive again! Hope to see one in Boston!
Philadelphia videos if possible pleeeeease!
Thank you
Were people always that excited when a train came in? Love the videos...like time capsules.
INCREDIBLE CHANNEL BROTHER
holyyy shit lmfaoooo 6:40 exiting through the window, badass!
Great job! I looked closely with interest. On the topic of the 30s, 40s of the 20th century, I have a small collection of cars and figurines of people in 1/18 scale.
The author, when there is a mood, make another video with the participation of pedestrians and cars of the 30s, 40s.
those cats getting off the train are styling! Boater hats galore, gee this ones swell!
I love the buildings and the signs and the old cars, but the faces are what get me. To see them in color, ""proving" they once existed, leading their lives like we would today. The guy at 6:08 shows nothing much has changed. Party hearty, dude!
6:41 - What, these passengers never heard of the door? What a party train!!! Never once climbed out of a train window... Might be a good thing...
It certainly looks different to Reading, Berks, England, after which the place was apparently named. Love those old locomotives and all amazingly clear to watch.
This was filmed in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Reading is the name of one of the railroads that served the area (like on the Monopoly board). There is a city named Reading (Berks County) in nearby Pennsylvania.
O man, if I could only have one of those old cars. Absolutely love them ‼️
They are out there... and some are fairly affordable. $10K or less will get you a less collectible 4-door with lots of patina. The novelty wears off really quickly for most people once they drive them... IF they can figure out how to drive them. ;-)
@@buckykattnj I'd like to have the old Atlantic City trolleys. The open cars were gone by the time I arrived in Atlantic City in 1953. I rode the newer trolleys until they were replaced by buses in 1955.
I love how all those now antique, museum-piece cars and trucks used to be people's regular daily drivers, street-parked and driven in heavy traffic without much cares or worries.
Wow, this is great like going through a time machine. Do you have any of Greece?
The people were so well dressed.
I wanna go to the Honeywell rubber convention, looks like fun! 🤠
6:06
Can we have our country back like this god?
Oh, how I wish I was from that era!
Do you like racism? Being less then a man? Having to depend on a man?
@@noahpiril9560 No matter what point in human history you look at there is always a problem associated with it. Some different then others.
@@noahpiril9560 I do not like racism, of course not. But I'm old school: I don't want to be more than a man. And I LOVE to depend on a man... I'm not like those women of today. And I wish I could say more but I know I cannot in this politically correct world.
@@noahpiril9560 yes I do
@@vellshell007 --- Right. Because real men like it when Blacks rode in the back of the bus, women were homemakers, Jews were excluded from certain neighborhoods and country clubs, and gays stayed in the closet.
Is there any of Houston, Texas?
Wow, I don’t think my parents were born yet. It’s funny how everyone is waving their hats and hands. Everything looked So different. Great video💕👏🏼
Everyone is dressed in their finest attire. I guess coming outside back then was a true luxury
Parabéns pelos ótimos videos
Nice to see the Honeywell rubber convention reception.
This shows how far our modern society has come! Here in the depression people are well dressed no one looks overweight and no homeless drug addicts living in tents. Real social interactions not fake social media. Real trains for mass transportation.
No LGTV OR BLM that’s why this era is beautiful
@@xxkaiserxx2505 There was MOST DEFINITELY LGBT (if that’s what you meant) people. People didn’t come out because they would’ve been shunned by society, so it was kept a secret. Though it’s a very beautiful and aesthetic era, it was a racist one 😬😬 there was also the Civil rights movement which was very similar to BLM. :)
@@nickole6601 I prefer old era now everyone is too fragile
There were "Hoovervilles" (camps of homeless people) across the U.S. throughout the '30s.
Great video, must have been filmed just after prohibition was repealed. Sad to think that even the kids are probably all gone by now.
Great video and work done on this video. Thumbs Up.
This is back when your hat told everyone what group you were in. Literally. ;O)-
correct.
That last footage was the AT&SF old La Grande Station in Los Angeles
NASS, you're total CLASS!!!!!
I wonder if you have films of the Hartford Ct and Boston ma... Love these !! As someone said, its like traveling back in time..
So this is the railroad I always lose or have to trade in Monopoly! Always bought it but never knew what it looked like. Thanks.
I like the man at 5:09 in the middle of the screen in front of the train welcoming the train passengers. He seems like a likeable sort ! 😀
My aunt used to take me to Atlantic City on the train in the early 50’s.
I wish we could get a more specific date for the videos, at least to the year. That’s the only thing that isn’t perfect about this channel. Otherwise, it’s flawless at what it does! 👍
These shots were filmed for a Warner Brothers movie called, "Convention City" in September of 1933. Not all of the scenes were in Atlantic City. The 'fake' convention trains were filmed in Los Angeles.
5:31 OMG "Honeywell Rubber Co. Con..." For a moment, I thought it was a web address.
Bunch of rowdy folks on that train! 😂
I bet those Honeywell Rubber Conventioneers were a hoot
0:39 TRAIN SIM 1019!!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
Bro, if you have stuff from the early 90s plaese share. That was my fav place in time.
Formidable, vraiment!!! Sinon vous pensez que l'on pourra avec la même qualité , dans un futur proche assister au baptême de Jésus sur les rives du Jourdain? 🤣 Votre travail est formidable.....Encore bravo
This is time travel folks!😀
I can’t get over the fact this is NOT an intro to a big budget Hollywood Technicolor movie with Errol Flynn about to walk into view 😂 It’s just everyday life. Film technology is probably one of the greatest inventions of the human race, it keeps us in touch with the past like nothing else and reminds us that what we thought we lost isn’t really lost at all.
Beautiful thanks Nass
Nice video
"Hey Mac, you in the bunny hat , yuse coming with us" they didn't like that guy.
no plastic wolrd
Nailed it
People's clothes are very nice
Amazing video
great video , so many people took to build this ,horses and whites , now gas and people
a modern life without the speed of the internet.... ...perfect
Great video.
What's with the brass band welcoming convention delegates with a rendition of the Christmas carol 'See amid the winter's snow'?
I can certainly see what inspired the makers of Monopoly.
Awesome, this train went right past my home from p to Atlantic City
A rubber convention, some of the participants looked well sauced. Now we know why the loco was sporting a huge hot water bottle.
