Hi all, I hope enjoy this old time look of the New York Central, The film was taken by The late Sam Parks of Chicago, Ill. in the 1940's with 16mm film . The information was provided by Mr. Parks it was written on the back of the film box. I bought this film off E bay last year.

  • TheBeechingAxe,

    If you don't like the music, you don't have to watch it.

  • Wow, great train video. Great music to go along with the trains. I wish my train videos were as good as this.

  • formulaonetoyota, you'll get better as time goes on. I been doing video work since 1987.

  • Krupa and Hudsons...does it get any better?

  • Yeah, I agree. The funny thing is I posted this with the music of Benny Goodmen Sing Sing Sing , and I took it off my Mother big band records. and youtube tries to tell me I took it from Sony. It was recorded by RCA -Victor way back when. So how can that be sony? they weren't even back then.

    Len.

see all

  • @pufferkuesser97 The name of the song is called, "Sing, Sing, Sing" By Benny Goodman. "Limited" in the train name may have meant that it stopped at only selected places along the line since they were usually express trains. A "local" train would stop at the small towns that the "Limited" did not serve.

  • i think the old music is good for this old video snippets. do you knpw what song it is? why are there extra mail trains and what do do the "limited" means in the name? can you answer please. i'm an german railroad fan who's interestet in old american trains ;)

    greetings

  • NYC J1 Hudsons are god damn legends!

  • @TheBeechingAxe Whaaat???!!! I don't think that you can't find better music than this.May be a better upload quality

  • Too bad we didn't have HD then.

  • @starguard Close, no weo (as they said back in the day), the song is 'Sing Sing Sing'... Benny Goodman on the clarinet and (most likely) Gene Krupa on drums, the only reason I mention it is because Sing Sing was pretty famous too, as the notorious prison :)

  • Sing sing sing! Fantastic! Goes perfectly with the video.

  • I believe that song is called "Sing Sing" by a guy named Benny Goodman. That song fits PERFECTLY with this video!!

  • i love the music.. it fits the era of footage

  • Some fantastic beasts on there - great vid, and I like the music too! Bob
