The Passenger Train - 1940 - Historic Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Trains in America

I like how the mail clerks all have sidearms.

Also, I think the guy at 1:09 is a time traveller from the 70s.

Is that dining car tall? Or are all those people short? Other than that it's a good film, I shoot black and white film and wish I could get the exposure as proper as this!

It's good to see an EMD EA &EB with the pre EMD Winton 201C prime mover. Its successor the 567 had a continuous three piece "Valve Cover". You can see the three rocker arms per cylinder. The outside ones are the exhaust and the middle one is the fuel injector. I am surprised that the cover was opened with the engine running as it could throw oil at higher throttle settings.

Boy, Mr. Schroader sure has a long run!

[notalott]

holy moly i'm guessing that's what an in-service winton block looks like.

Beautiful trains much more comfortable than today's Amtrak....and good looking classy woman not fat pigs like today.

People had much better taste those years.

[howardkevinm]

i think amtrak should have compartments in the coaches

[firz81]

[bee1king]

[ACLTony]

Incredible what rail travel used to be in America! 

[megatwingo]

Great video. Thumbs up! :)

[whatbogusnamingrules]

Would have been great, except for the Goddamn ad in the middle!

[howardkevinm]

it sucks streamliners could go 100mph no matter where they were in the country. in 1940 it took a train half as long to get from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh than it does now. 5hrs, now it takes 9

[wrailfan]

I think the uploader means 'Baltimore' & Ohio, not Burlington.

Great video!

[wdtvlive42]

@wrailfan

The uploader hangs his head in shame... And then laughs as you're the first person in over 1500 to notice the mistake :-) Fixed now.

[cooldit1]

@wdtvlive42 yay

[SuperDesidude]

WTF??!! we still have may be worse than (1940s) condition here in India even today.

[K4JW]

I ALWAYS wondered what a winton engine looked like thats cool, the first EA units by EMC befor it was EMD

[sookster54]

I love the design of these 1940's trains, they were ahead of their time in design, why don't we have trains that look like that anymore.

[pyrofella]

These old docos are great.... I remember watching these at school... Thanks for posting
