Notice all the "station cars" in the parking lot 2:45-2:53. Just enough transportation to get from home to the station and back. Usually the heaters/defrosters didn't work in the winter, and of course no A/C... Wind-up windows, plenty of rust, no floorboards, but at least they ran, and cheap! Those Southern Railway engines sound exactly like the older PRR engines. I can't believe I am hearing them again. Thanks for posting.
@cmans79tr7 "Station cars" ? You mean a work beater....aka just a "beater". Any old beat-up car to get back and forth in. I'm just the opposite. I figure that I'm going to spend a lot of my life commuting back and forth to work, so I want as nice a car as I can afford to do it in.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Do you see the original? I posted it early in the summer and the quality was crap so I'm finally getting around to making it better quality. They did HEP on of the E-units, they should've put it in revenue service it was also the only one that was painted in the final NJT scheme (not the white one it was grey). Believe or not there were some trains where all the heavyweight coaches matched.
Love the GP40p :)

If I were an engineer with enough time under my belt, I would up and retire the day the GG1's went out.

Yikes, check out those unprotected grade crossings at 3:59. Anyone know the location at 4:58?

Outstanding video! E units, GG1s,, passenger trains (with no Amtrak logos). Sweet sights for a railfan's eyes.
Thanks very much for posting :)

this is NJT at it's best, sure I like it now, but E-8s and Geeps on all sorts of colors are types of cars, 5 stars

Sorry, past tense. That should read did you see the original. You wouldn't see the original because I removed it.
