Route of the 20th Century Limited featuring classic NYC streamlined steam locomotives

thanks for sharing. I know it isn't perfect and the sound is dubbed - duh! It's pretty darn good!! But, what is with the guy at 1:20? backwards, forwards...and the steam looks like it is going backwards. Haha! Overall, great stuff!

Wow the dude who shot the emergency stop mustve been really brave.

Great footage. I love the emergency stop of the Dreyfus Hudson at 1:26. But there are a few downsides to the audio.

At 0:18, when the whistle on the Mercury is fake (I've heard that same exact sound in movies before). The whistle is also not letting any steam out either.

The doppler effect is out of sync with the Dreyfus Hudson at 2:43 (a dubbing error).
