Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Charlie B - 02-28-2013 I found this this afternoon and I know there are a couple of folks here that might like to see some third rail and under the wire stuff 1961 (Like GEC) <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://archive.org/details/6358_HM_NY_Central_and_NYNHH_Electric_Operations_July_1961_01_00_54_11">http://archive.org/details/6358_HM_NY_C ... 1_00_54_11</a><!-- m --> Also found this one on the Bay Area key system <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://archive.org/details/6358_HM_Key_System_ca_1959_01_15_49_00">http://archive.org/details/6358_HM_Key_ ... 1_15_49_00</a><!-- m --> Very good home videos. My thanks to the posters that shared them. Charlie Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Ralph - 02-28-2013 Great vintage footage! I've always liked photos of action at the Park Ave tunnel but video is fantastic! Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Charlie B - 02-28-2013 Ralph, I can only imagine what this area looked like for you in another 8 years after this was shot . You have a lot in common with my oldest son. He has a pretty good collection of PC trains too, his first set in 1971 was a PC Tyco passenger set. Charlie Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Ralph - 03-01-2013 Green F unit? I had one! Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Charlie B - 03-01-2013 Yep, Green unit with a red and white P C and 3 lit passenger cars. He wore them out (but it took him over 30 years to do it.) Charlie Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Ralph - 03-01-2013 I enjoyed my set as well. I still have the locomotive although I removed the motor and turned it into a dummy. A few years ago I tried to make it and the passenger cars look more prototypical with paint and decals... Re: Under the wire and rubbing the rail - Green_Elite_Cab - 03-06-2013 Wow, that was a pretty good video. I'm not even sure I've ever seen video of some of those things, let alone in color. I think I liked the NYC S2s in the beginning, and the New Haven boxcabs and EF4 that showed up towards the end. The NYC P and T motors were awesome as well, along with the EP5s, FL9s, and Washboard MUs. Thanks for sharing!
