Hoboken is an EMD classic diesel delight. It’s a working railroad museum that delivers the goods for thousands of NJT commuters. It has no equal in USA. Chicago’s OTC comes very close with their screaming F40’s but NJT has more variety.
The veterans tribute on 4635 is a great idea but the execution is so dull and uninspiring. Willing to bet there is at least one freelance graphic designer in the NYC area who could come up with something infinitely better for relatively little money.
My granddad was a Lackawanna train dispatcher who held down 1st trick on the Boonton Line. Spent many hours up in dispatcher office with him during the 50s and 60s. Lackawanna Edison Era MUs, Geeps, Es and Erie RS and PAs. The Phoebe Snow was still the premier passenger train. Was back in Hoboken in September...first time in more than 50 years!
Thank you for this interesting clip with all the Classic EMD's. However i can tell you a brief story about Australia's oldest Diesel that happens to be one of The GM 1 Class members number GM 10 which like a number of Vintage EMD's built around the same time are loosely based on The EMD F Series but known affectionately as Bulldogs. Anyway GM 10 was one of the EMD ML 1's that entered service in June 1952 and is still working a little over 70 years later and nowadays is on the books of SSR or Southern Shorthaul Railroad. Having said that an number of The Bulldogs of Classes B, 42, 421, S and CL's among other classic GM's are either preserved or in Private ownership. GM 10 has the EMD Blower-Scavenged 2 Stroke 567B V16 engine developing 1500hp.
Amazing place ❤ one of the last glory era of railroading, just hoping they keep the beautiful sheds and not destroyed it in the name of modernisation . Hope to see more videos at this location , thx 🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
