This is a stellar video with timeless footage. Thanks for not backing down when your video was first removed. At 3:21, where are those diamonds located?

@MrCrossIsBoss That would be Marion, OH. Its been a while since I was there, so don't know what's left.

Fantastic images! They really take me back! Hard to watch without becoming sentimental! I live for trains.

The 4000 series CTA cars were originally built in the teens & twenties. They last ran in revenue service in 1973. They were awesome to ride--I'd let 4 or 5 trains of 6000 cars pass just to ride 'em.

This is great. I wished that i could have rode the train with you--i was 7 yrs old then.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. #4 should be along soon. But then I said that a year ago. It is pretty close though.
