This is a grab bag of Erie Lackawanna in the 1960s and 1970s. Many cinematographers. Nearly all films are in dismal condition here. A wide variety of locomotives.
A single DVD-R. This is a 2016 revision. Fullscreen 4×3 aspect ratio. Image quality is poor. Soundtrack contains mostly music and narrative.
Main Chapter Menu. On-screen graphics added with various information. A map for the Bloomer. Narrated by Ron McElrath
To the Trains… 👉
EL Mail #4 Train. Departing Youngstown Ohio. Unbelievable poor quality for a commercial release.
Notice the green/yellow stripes on the sky. EL Electro-motive F and 2 Alco FA units in older paint scheme.
FM Trainmaster, EMD FB and an Alco RS-3 was a wild lash-up but not uncommon.
Alco PA locomotive is on a ready track. In the yard at Marion, Ohio.
Poor quality film sinks this show. The top quarter of the screen has super annoying yellow and blue bands that flicker in a busy fashion that is unwatchable.
Just when you think it can’t get worse. It does! Now, a busy black bar sizzles across the top of the screen. This is unwatchable.
Phoebe Snow on Hainesburg Viaduct. 56
Some old F units with a GP and Alco RS units at Croxton Yard.
Alco Century 2457 with a trailing GE U25B at Marion. The last few minutes have 8mm film with live sound from 1976. Still with visual problems.
Erie Lackawanna Encore!
This Revalation show in a single word … JUNK!
