In the upper Great Lakes, probably healing iron ore or maybe coal.

Mike Bednar is the best narrator

It's nice to see the cars before they were defaced with that terrible graffiti.

0:35 Alburtis, still a busy mainline for NS.

Awesome video 😊

Nice video. Great catch. I like freight trains especially cabooses. You only see cabooses nowadays just at the state borders for long hauls. Other places. They use cabooses once in a blue moon. Not too often. The deliveries they make are local runs. That's probably why

I enjoyed the video what I liked was seeing the engines that had the old NW symbol

FRIENDLY CROSSINGS. 😊

The southern tier was an albatross for Conrail.

Love this! Railfan born and raised in Elmira NY. These were our trains!

Wondeful old locomotives ❤❤❤❤❤

At 1:03, I'd like to know what happened there.😮😮😮😮

Great footage! It was great seeing the Cleveland Electric “yellow birds” make an appearance! I used to seem them all the time go through Brilliant, Ohio.

The famous ALCOs, GE history connects to ALCO I read. I am not a railfan. I see Union Pacific here in Utah.

Love the Sharks! My first toy/model train at the age of 3 was a Tyco Sharknose painted as Rock Island (which I believe they never had, but hey it was Tyco and they were kind of known for that).

Another great video 949

Was weed killer agent orange? Out BH.

go get em

So did Conrail own the D&H? Why not absorb the D&H instead of letting it go to incompetent management?

Love my heavy smoking and fudsing and a cussing alco s ,dont mess with my alcos,thanks 4 the video

Desperate and Hungry

Love Mikes narration. Great videos!

Just love your video seeing that old power and everything smoking everything dirty different kind of companies oh it's just great gets me so homesick the way it used to be thank you keep them coming

i miss those days down at Cp Burn as a kid in the 80s and 90s. I watch the action while my father video taped with the old Panasonic vhs recorder

Great video, wish I could understand his narration better

Love these videos! Thanks for making them..

Yeah I could remember them lightning stripes passing thru Mifflinville on the Sunbury main mid 80's onward either NB or SB passes . Quite colorful road unit's before Canadian Pacific took over operations of the D&H .

I've really been enjoying Dave Deyo's photos on social media. This video will be a must see.

Love to see the old equipment to see the sea lamp container was great

When did the D&H start using the blue & yellow scheme?

Love it!

And you saw NS units in Allentown way before they took over some of Conrail's lines in 1998-1999. That's because they were run throughs from Hagerstown, MD where NS (former N&W) came up from Virginia, etc. and N&W, Southern, NS diesels would wind up on Conrail trains. How did that work, though, did NS crews have to leave the train at Hagerstown or did they stay on with Conrail crews?

loved watching the LVs crossing Foote Ave in Duryea from my grandparent's house in the '50s and 60s', making the climb to Avoca, then waiting for the pushers to come back down. Better days.

Yes, correct, Mike--- at least the NYSW TRIED!!!!

I grew up in the Conrail era in the late 70's and 80's. I remember those Blue Mountain and Reading excursions on Conrail in fall 1987, 1988 as well as the ones sponsored by Reading Tech in Sept. 1985. I rode through CP Burn on August 22, 2015 behind 765 from New Haven, IN it went from west of Bethlehem to Pittston and return over NS and RBMN. It met 425 at Jim Thorpe and they exchanged whistle blasts both ways. NS had steam excursions again from Sept 2011 to May 2017. Now, they want nothing to do with excursions again. But, the 2102 is running again and this year two of the Rambles are going over the RBMN Lehigh Line for the first time, June 22 Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock which I'm riding and it sold out last month, and August 17 Nesquehoning to Pittston. I never got to see the 2102 in person at Allentown, but I did ride behind it from Emmaus to Pennsburg and return on Sept. 7, 1991. This year will be my fourth time behind 2102. Is Mike Bednar still alive? I have one of his books, I think it's Reading in the Conrail era. I heard since the horsehead railroad took over in Allentown that railfanning at CP Burn is sort of forbidden now and there are No Trespassing metal signs that NS put up. But, there were people at Burn when I was on the 765 excursion waving at us. We came up the LV connector track, then crossed Auburn St., then reversed toward the yard across the bridges, then pulled forward up the ex-CNJ toward Lehighton then up the ex-LV to White Haven, then ex-CNJ through Penobscot, then ex-LV again to Pittston wye where they loaded Subway subs for us and turned the train. I also rode behind 765 from Lewistown to Gallitzin on May 25, 2013, the Horseshoe Curve Special.

Any video is way better, with comments and appearance from Mike Bednar!!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

Fantastic.

1051 I've enjoyed watching your videos

Why does he keep mentioning Ardmore? Nobody gets it

happy 20th volume of the railfannin with the bednars series, it has been going for about over 13 years now, and going

I was proud to work for Conrail. Great road.

Another great volume. I know someone who's gonna love the footage of the Perk Branch excursion and of CR 7554 at 0:26 (now on East Penn RR on the Perk Branch) she's gonna be starry eyed when I get this DVD for her. She also lives by the Perk in Emmaus. Would love to meet Big Mike one day. Hope all's well with him

I love your videos because I love the old stuff keep them coming as long as you can thank you very much

Wonderful films of so much stuff I'm modeling. Beautiful job Mike. God Bless.

Anything from the rochester ny area ??

still a classic

Now that's how you get a real coal car done to shipp out some of those coal rocks done & roasted you railroad & railway you piece of bitches you old-school crew!

Don't spill the bean soup!

it 50 years ago, but feels like yesterday. intricate trackwork has vanished in modern railroading, and the whole scheme of things has become sanitized. more capital in the business now, & fewer companies, but look at the lines of modern high horsepower barely used locomotives. in the earlier times , railroading had personality with depth and dimension. Today we got oh hum. seen one, seen 'em all.
