Captured around 1974, this interesting footage showcases a collection of Penn Central and B&O trains traversing the tracks. The film also includes a recording of a train derailment captured from a television screen, followed by shots of damaged cars seemingly aftermath of the accident making their way through town.
This rare footage was meticulously preserved despite its age and condition. The faded colors and torn sprocket holes necessitated scanning the film in reverse to utilize the opposite side of the sprocket holes, the bad sprockets may cause occasional shakiness.
Sourced from an 80ft Super 8 film reel, this historical gem invites rail enthusiasts to share their knowledge and identify the equipment and locations featured in the video. Likes are greatly appreciated as they help spread this fascinating piece of railroad history to a wider audience.
