Thanks, but there several items in the film that indicate the film was done at a later time. One of them being a quick view the United Nations Building , which was built in 1950.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I have been on the NYC forum. Does anyone know what the year the New York Central' s promotional film "New York Calling" was produced? There seems to some confusion on YouTube concerning this. Thanks.

I second that. I've searched for long time and never come up with any pictures of Casanova Station, only the old estate house from which the street and station were named.
There was a change in milling technology after the First World War. I beams or W sections of different sizes and weights became readily available. Also advances in welding technology occurred. At the beginning of the Twentieth Century repetitive member and composite structures (usually riveted) were...

For those interested, the 2015 Holiday addition of Classic Trains has a reprint of a 1952 Trains and Travel article concerning a typical day on the New Haven’s wire train. Great photos too.
What were the named New Haven trains that went to Florida and the South? Which car types would venture into the southern states? I’m assuming the New Haven cars would connect with either the RF&P or Southern at Washington’s Union Station.
I’m a little late on this one, but three cheers for historical preservation. Hopefully it will be as successful as New York’s High Line.

The seven mile railway served a popular resort of the same name in the New York Adirondacks. The experimental rectifier technology at the ti...
Just following up on my minutia Since the EP-4 was a forerunner of sorts to the EF-3, it’s possible that GE engineers and New Haven Engineering staff made some modifications to EF-3 design, besides the mechanical requirements for freight operations. On EF-3 the cab roof length and door and roof acce...
Thanks again for the info. In which NH yards was this pushing method used extensively?
Thanks for your insight NorthWest
Does anyone have a picture of these poles and possibly a photo of these poles in use?
