CONRAIL & D&H, 1977-1978, Emmaus Hill, Reading Line action. Live sound!
We are at the top of the grade on the Conrail Reading line. It is a constant grade from Allentown yard, to were we stand here at Emmaus, PA. We catch both east and west traffic of both Conrail, and the Delaware & Hudson using trackage rights over the line. You'll see classic old power of EMD, GE, and even an Alco shows up.
Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoyed it.
God Bless

Priceless material. Excellent video Jack.
I remember seeing GP-30's 2216,2217, and 2225 working on the A32/41 on the Robbinsville secondary as well as GP10 7573. Really takes me back to a simpler time.
Jack, this footage is really special to me. I was just a teen during these years. Back then I had little interest in trains.. I would see D&H running where I lived in upstate NY (Albany, Schenectady, Troy area)..Now many years later I've developed a love for trains and seek out footage such as you provide. I model D&H primarily with a sprinkle of nearly all New England roads just because. Until recently I just collected and ran what I liked without any thought about actual routes or operations. Now here I find myself wanting to focus on that era gone by. So, this footage really hits a chord with me. Being able to see actual footage of these older engines..and hear the horns of that day. Most everyone today is doing modern railroads..and fallen flags are harder to come by. Maybe that's why it appeals to me..yearning for that day gone by. Thank you for sharing.. Tom
Awesome these pictures thanks for sharing
Love your old videos! Takes me right back to when I was a kid! I would have been 15 in 1978.
Tons of executives. Great Video
Thanks Jack for publishing these great videos. The sounds are wonderful and having lived through the years of transition from the LV, RDG, EL, and D&H into Conrail and PC, these videos bring back many fond memories. Just hearing those SD45 horns again is great. Thanks.
Absolutely first class "retro" videos, hope you have more of these.
This is excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool! I love seeing trains in those days with all the mergers occurring, the old power you never see on Class I Railroads, and those perfect horns that don't even sound like anything you hear trackside today. Even though i wasn't alive in 70's 80's and 90's i still have an attachment to old diesels a little more than steam. Anyway, thanks for sharing and great footage!
Love video i was born in 1978 and ownel see railways in 80s 90s and today wow nicely done.
Awesome footage and great sound ( until the malfunction ).
Another Gem thanks Jack.
Hey Jack,
great video! nice to see some old footage of classic trains from my home area.
Thanks Jack.
Absolutely something than can no longer be repeated today!
Thanks for the cool video I was born in 77 and I recognize some of the buildings in the video are still there today. I wish I would have went with the railroad for my career
Jack..........liked that region and time so much that I modeled it in my basement in HO gauge.
God bless you, Jack.
