  I miss the few Conrail cab rides. I searched for whatever PennCentral cab ride videos but no luck.

  Now retired but for me the Conrail "Harrisburg Line" used to be the Lebanon Valley Branch from Reading, PA to Rutherford, PA just outside of Harrisburg pre-Conrail as the Reading.  Watching this video brought back memories as a Reading greenhorn of 1973. Also to see the UP 6356 in consist was fun to see for when this video was made I was then with the Union Pacific. Thanks for your video.

  This is so cool. I have vivid memories of observing Conrail trackage from high above on the Pulaski Skyway as my dad made his way westward after exiting the Holland Tunnel. We were headed to the VF Outlets in Reading back when Reading was more bustling than its current state. Loved to sneak away from shopping to catch a freight headed towards Wyomissing Junction after passing CP Dunkle👍🏽👍🏽🛤🛤🚆🚆

  When I rode the mail train to Harrisburg,  we called it the TV train and ran about 70 to 75 mph.  A little more excitement than this.

  As a trucker who worked intermodal So Kearney, Bergen, Alexandria RFP and Southern yards also was a big fan of RR. really enjoyed the footage out of SK yard going through Newark alone side route 22 and Weequahic Park, Hillside, Bridgewater route 287, Pberg, Sammy's drive inn diner,  Bethlehem steel.  Those where the days  when machinery was harnessed by blood sweat and tears, when men where men and women weren't.  Excellent video brings back many memories. Salute to all those who help feed and built America.

  Remarkable capture.  Brought back many memories.  The routing around Reading is wild.  Dispatcher gave you good railroad considering a good amount of traffic.

  I used to deliver to the maintenance yards all over New Jersey and Pennsylvania. There was one I distinctly remember being next to a rendering plant somewhere in North Jersey. Talk about stink in the summer. My favorite yards to go to were Enola and Lehigh. I ran a curtain side trailer with a moffet all terrain lift. You name it I probably delivered it, from pallets of water to wheelsets.

  I like the gauntlet track at Roselle Park keeping the freight away from the station platform.
