Two videos of Steam Rail Hudson R711 a couple years ago. Sound could just as well been a Reading G-3 on the Cape May Branch with a Wildwood extra heading home with a train load of vacationers at the Shore on a warm August evening in 1955. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/rKOyjZpqpd0 http://youtu.be/1wdkp5t6EhY |

Neat clips. One of the interesting things that also parallels American practice, at least until relatively recently, is how open (unfenced) the right-of-way is. One could walk out of a field anywhere on this line and come right up to the track. The coaches vaguely look like something from the Reading, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXzFzn8rg_Y I've had this up before, but it's worth bringing back here. It's one of the best steam films I've ever seen, and I think that comes from being made in 1974, after others had shown what steam on film should (and shouldn't) look like. I almost get the impression that an Australian O. Winston Link may have had a hand in this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uFJs-xoTMM Out-takes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be130b45sHo A tribute to the original film, done in a very similar style in the preservation era. Of interest, besides the big steamlined Pacific, are the diesels that look and sound like Alco PAs, complete with smoke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pTNpWX3pwM Enjoy. |
