I just watched a rerun of the 1969 movie Hello Dolly after about 30 years. It's still one of my favorite musical movies with trains. I understand that the locomotive and cars were from the Strasburg Railroad in Pennsylvania and that somehow they drove it to the Hudson River Line in NY. I have three questions:
1. By what routes did they get the train to and from the Hudson River Line? I'm guessing that it must have gone through New Jersey. It must have been a sight to see.
2. Are there any videos of the transit?
3. How did they turn the locomotive around on the Hudson River Line? There must have been a wye or turntable someplace up near Garrison I would guess.
Please let me know if you have any other information on the transit.
Thanks

PS I tried posting this on the Railroads in the Media Forum and got no response. Since Strasburg RR is in PA I thought someone here might know.
