What is the train ( Using Bottom Counter ) Between 4:56 and 5:03 ? Is that Burlington Route ? And what year Aprox ? With the exception of the lighter reflection from the front of the tender ,it almost looks like the engine and tender was all one unit . Very cool video . I have never seen so many streamlines before. Also the second train has got my attention . Same questions with addition of what line is it from ? Looks like it was painted in Black , But I can't read it.

I look at this stuff and wonder what the heck happened to design. Pre WW2 they made the most beautiful mechanical objects. Post WW2 they seem to care more about making money than making beautiful objects,

Thanks for taking the time to put together such a great montage of early streamline trains. That was one of the best I have seen. -TM

What beautiful steamers! Truly an age of elegance and design. Now most American locos look like WW2 tanks, the epitome of ugliness . . . Thank god for the European designers who can combine beauty with power

The locomotive is one of the greatest machine invented by the human! I like those old days when the train ruled the long way traffic. It's a pitty that when other contryes are redescovering the train (if then't are too many cars is a problem, it there are to many is a problem too), in Romania the incompetents and the theifs are destroing the railway. Man, I love those old american streamlined locomotives and trains. God bless the railway!

the music?who am I? Thanks

[callmeshane303]

Yeah - I am not in love with the damned things, but the Art Deco ???? period of design - the trains actually LOOKED really fucking good....

Like some of the bakelite and timber veneer radios and Flash Gordon-y types of stuff.

A bit like a good looking woman - you can just admire them all day.

And now they just look like tasteless plain biscuit tins with shit paint jobs.

I am glad that you made this video

Between 4:56 & 5:20 is the Reading's Crusader that operated between New York and Philadelphia. The train set had Observation cars on either end of the consist. It began operations in the late 30's
