Video of Sandusky, OH in the summer of 1956 when Pennsy leased Santa Fe 2-10-4 engines to help with a surge in traffic. This is a really great video with lots of great scenes of both of these engine types.

  • That is freakin awesome!!!!!! I grew up by the tracks in Tiifin in the PC Days. I have several old pics of train here back in the day. Keep these videos comin!!!!

  • @CORKYANDERSON The music is only occasional. Buy the DVD and get the entire show.

  • All of the sounds I added to this video were recorded by Don Krofta's friend Jim Hawk at the time Don was shooting the film. They are accurate for the locomotives you see. Buy the DVD and you'll find a lot more PRR action. Also, I'm sorry to report that Don Krofta passed away in February, 2011. His great films live on in the 16 DVD's we've released of his films on PRR, NYC, NKP, B&O, Western diesels with more to come in the future. -J R Herron, Herron Rail Video.

  • 0:52, I don't know if this is a sign to all of you that the locomotive is a living beast, but to me it sounded like it just snorted like a horse.

  • That sounds like it could be a Santa Fe whistle and those are definatly Pennsy whistles on the J-1s. The sound was dubbed but I believe it is accurate. Does anybody have any NYC videos with Hudsons on them?

  • eliminate the music and let us hear the steamers!

  • @pbmja Good to hear that about Don-I hope he's still doing well. I remember reading a very interesting article in Trains mag as a youngster 30 yrs ago by him about the NYC top trains detouring thru his hometown of (I believe) Fremont. I also loved his still photos of the NYC passing through Fremont that I just loved, & his comments & observations. (I still have the link somewhere!) I feel he was 1 of the 1st hard core railfans. Please pass on my best to him from Mitch in Massillon OH.

  • All sound is dubbed for early film. Audio was recorded separately. Could they still be authentic.

  • if you look closely and listen a few times..some of the sounds are dubbed

  • A couple of things I just noticed. At 1:08 showing the passing of AT&SF 5018, it is evident she's just taken on water, see her tender tank sweating in the warm summer air? At 6:33 where PRR 6488 is pulling away from the coal dock, watch the movement of the crosshead in the crosshead guide. Lots of up and down movement (slop) there.
