This was an awesome piece of footage, really love the hump yard scenes. I noticed you got the CR OCS at one point. My grandfather had ascended to the board by then and always told me he was in car #4. Thanks!
PSR reduced the amount of freight trains. And excursions on NS are now verboten, in March 2018 Amtrak started an excursion ban. Amtrak had two excursions through Allentown in late Oct 2016. They were circle trips that started in NY Penn and returned via Philly from Harrisburg area. The Conrail Shared Assets and NS portion was very rare mileage that last saw passenger service in Feb. 1961 for Lehigh Valley Railroad, and 1963 for the Reading's Allentown, Reading and Harrisburg service. NS had steam excursions again from Sept. 2011 to May 2017 and I rode behind 765 twice in PA and 611 in Manassas, VA and Strasburg, PA. The second 765 excursion went from west of Bethlehem to Pittston and back over NS and RBMN.

Unreal footage!
Great footage, where was the GE44 tonner filmed at? Ingersoll Rand possibly?
Good Luck,NJT E8s! R.I.P.
Those are SD60 demos, the 50 line didn’t get a demo
I think at least, one of Southern's 17 E8s ended up with New Jersey Transit. I don't know if they leased it, or acquired it.
Allentown isn't half as busy now under NS.

First units are Uboats?? Or 23 and 30-7s
C30-7 and B23-7.
Typical rude Jersey jeers at 11:58. Some people are so self absorbed when it comes to run bys.
Go Big Blue!!!
