DVD summary below:
In Volume 4 of Short Lines & Branch Lines, we’ll cover the Raritan River Railroad, the Wellsville, Addison and Galeton or WAG railroad and the Niagara Junction Railway.
We’ll begin with operations on the Raritan River railroad in northeast New Jersey during the last year or so of operation before being absorbed into Conrail in April of 1980
We’ll then head out to northwestern Pennsylvania to view operations on the Wellsville, Addison and Galeton with GE center-cab locomotives and the transition to EMD F7 motive power.
And finally, we’ll head to Niagara Falls, New York to look at the operations on the all-electric Niagara Junction Railway

Nice to see clean cars without all the graffiti.
Those were the days, I always loved the Boxcars, especially with no graffiti, commentary is excellent 👍🏻 thank you for posting
The only video I have ever seen of my hometown shortline (RRRR) that I was born "just too late" to see myself. Will be sure to order a copy!
any active tracks left now
@@kurt8986it’s mostly all still there, only the mainline from South Amboy to about Parlin is severed and long gone, also no longer goes into New Brunswick track ends just before Rt1.
Your funny... The guy with the cart lol. Hey THANK YOU for sharing these videos I'm 58 and love the old trains which I have a layout of 50's to 79... Even hade old cars have a 64 Olds 98 right now... Nothing better then the older day's . These days are crap... Again thank you Pennsylvania is a beautiful state specially railroads
2 of the WAG F7's are now at the Golden gate railroad Museum
Such a shame that every last inch of the WAG was torn up.
Terrific video!
🚂🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Excellent!
I wonder if any vendor will have this at the train show tomorrow? I work in Niagara Falls and always try to figure out where the old nj was when I drive up and down Buffalo ave
This was JUST released today, so no one has these in their hands yet. We expect dealers to have these in stock within a week or so
Thanks for the video love the old stuff especially the caboose.
The Raritan River RR. only had 6 SW900's. 1 thru 6. There was no #8 engine. Great video!
Correct. The opening scene at the engine house, it SOUNDS like 6 eight 3, but Mike says 6 AND 3
Love it!
Timeless 👍
Always the best videos with narration.
I think I will put this one on my list
Love the Becnar series !!
Is the chemical plant still in operation.
train crews have to pick up firewood?back in those days train crews were making about $20 per hour with lots of overtime but heating oil is diesel fuel so the train crews could fill up fuel cans at the fuel pad with almost no cameras back then and back then the federal minimum was was only five dollars per hour for people not lucky enough to get a railroad job.
I presume you worked for the Raritan River Railroad to know this information first-hand?
Fantastic coverage sadly I was in high school when they folded or merged away and being in the Midwest travels were limited. Sure do miss those old Freight cars
Nice video 👍
Do a Lehigh and new England volume 1&2 collection
We did 3 volumes of the LNE in 2012. RUclips will not allow links in comments. Please check out our videos.
seeing some cut up logs on the side of the loco in that first clip is awesome.
