DVD summary below:

Volume 2 of Lehigh Valley's Buffalo Division by Bill McLane covers operations from Geneva to Coxton and picks up where Volume 1 left off at Geneva. We will also take a brief look at operations under Conrail.

Near Geneva station, we will climb aboard the last trip to Naples on October 20th, 1970. From Geneva, we will travel the main line to Sayre. At Sayre, we will ride the D&H run to Binghamton. Its symbol was FO-2. We round out operations in NY with a Manchester run from Sayre to Gilbert Interlocking.

We will then take a look at operations in Pennsylvania. We'll hop aboard with Bill and the crew on a qualifying run on the State Line & Sullivan Branch. We'll conclude operations under the LV with a main line run from Sayre to Coxton. Before moving into Conrail, we will take a brief look at B&W footage from the days of steam. Finally, we view operations under Conrail.

Excellent commentary. Now this is the way a railroad video should be made. Love it!. One question; How long is the DVD?

@cp256

Thanks Henry. I'm still on the hunt for more footage.

@JhnZ33 Great video's!! I love the narration by this former railroad man. Even though this was a downhill time for many of these railroad's, it was still fun to do this type of work. I work for CSX now and the fun is being taken out of it. Over the last 10 year's it has been going from being done the smart railroad way, to the corporate way. Is this gentleman still alive?

@CSXtrackworker

I'm glad you liked the previews. Yes, Bill is still with us although up in age.

That was great footage. All those factories shown along the tracks, thats what made America strong and great. Now the traitors send all those valuable jobs to communist countries and other countries with "sweat shops". This is a nice video of a distant memory when America was great.

@JhnZ33 That is good to hear. I have worked with a few of the old timer's before they retired from the railroad. They are some of the best guy's I have worked with on the railroad period!! Some of them were lucky enough to see the last remenant's of steam before they were gone forever. I too have seen changes in the rail industry, but nothing like them. It is a shame, but unfort technology continues to change the face of the railroad's.

The D&H turntable was in the Bevier Street Yard. That highway bridge is indeed Rt 81. Now that yard probably sees 5 to 10 run through CP trains over the line to Albany to the East. The Erie, Lackawanna, and D&H all converged in Binghamton. The Lackawanna Depot remains, and the D&H roundhouse is long gone
