Hi,
A friend of the family has let me upload their home movies to YouTube.
You can see them on this playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... D768B4093D
Included are:
Grandpa's train, probably around 1973. - His live steam engine he built (cross-posted)
BART ride, 1978?
Valley RR train and boat ride, 1970s
The destruction of Penn Station, NYC, sometime after 1962 (cross-posted)
2 LIRR clips (probably 1970s)
Livonia, Lakeville and Avon railroad (before 1968?)
Rail City visit, (1960s?)
some Southern Pacific clips (1960s? 70s?)
Rye, NY train station and other New Haven line footage (1950s? - 1970s)
Reading 2124 (Iron Horse Ramble #16, April 9, 1961?) (cross-posted)
To Montreal and Expo 67 via CN, To Kingston, Ontario via VIA
Amtrak trip upstate NY and along Hudson river 1970s
Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington (ME) railway visit, 1970s
Various train scenes (1950s - 1970s)
I would love it if you add any info about any of these. I posted to some forums but not to each one that may have pertained to each railroad so please feel free to cross-post them if you think another forum might like them. Thanks!
Cheers,
John L
