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

    Great video!

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • i think amtrak should have compartments in the coaches
