One of the BEST VIDEOS EVER. Great shots of all the bridges and trestles. And you just showed the beginning and ending of the train, not a twenty minute film of one entire train. This was packed full of trains. Great job!
I don't believe I've ever actually seen video footage of the Amtrak express boxcar repositioning moves. For those that don't know, shortly after Amtrak started operating express boxcars, it was discovered that when the cars were empty, severe truck hunting occurred when operating at passenger train speeds. Until the fleet was eventually equipped with struts/dampers on the trucks to mitigate this, the company ran deadhead trains of empty cars to position them for loading. The majority of the express boxcars were delivered in 1997, so this video probably dates from late 1997 or 1998. Very interesting catch.
hell, the last time i was at conway, in the yard,,,CR F7 1865 had just been white lined, several ALCOs on the turn table service tracks. a few EL paints, a former P&E GP7, a black SD45 with red keystones showing. most locos were black. 1977.
its sad most of the line NS downgraded. its mostly signal track now. i wish Amtrak would have service that way again but i think the line is severed in Ohio.
In order by appearance: Maximo, Sebring, Conway yard, Homestead, East Pittsburgh, Island Ave., Allegheny Commons Park, CP-Penn, New Galile, Enon Valley.
@@RailroadMediaArchive fantastic job, this looks to be around the time I hired with Conrail in the fall of 1998. The clerk shacks at East Conway are priceless. This is a time capsule of the booming time before & at take over. The primered Dash 9 at CpPenn in trail is peak of the Blue turning Black.

Wow! First train with that K5LA! Sounds out of place on Conrail but man it sounds good.
Penn Rail Videos Those K5LA’s on NS/Conrail’s first order of SD70’s were simply beautiful
a brace of F7s with blad horns is 1000 times better.
looks and sounds far better.
you younger people missed out, todays RRing sucks.
