New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads Film: Great Railroad At Work (1952) [DVD]A railroad film classic, Great Railroad at Work provides a detailed picture of the operations of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad during the early 1940's. Both steam (I-3 Pacifics, Mountains, and Hudson I-5's) and diesel (Alco DL-109's and Alco switchers) engines are shown, including how steam engines were repaired in the roundhouse. There is lots of behind-the-scenes footage showing all the maintenance, loading, workers, and preparations of both cargo and passenger trains. Included is footage of a woman buying a ticket in Grand Central Station, conductors yelling "All aboard!" for the Yankee Clipper, the car float operations in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, transfers at the Maybrook terminal in upstate New York, an ancient New Haven electric switcher in operation at the car floats, and an Erie steam engine at Maybrook. Narration is by the infamous Lowell Thomas.
New York Central Railroad Film: The Big Train (1950) [DVD]The Big Train, made for the New York Central Railroad, shows how integral the railroad companies were to the growth and economy of the country, and makes the case for deregulation of the industry. Alfred Perlman, president of the NYCR, introduces the film and then takes the audience on a freight train ride through the country, cities, and industrial areas. These scenes are somewhat exciting for their melodramatic soundtrack and bombastic narration. Afterwards, Perlman reappears, pipe in hand, in order to levy the charge that the federal and state governments are strangling the railroad companies with taxes. He makes the case that other forms of transportation are not taxed, echoing a common argument of the time, all while cleaning his pipe.
Third Avenue El: A Train Ride on the old New York City Third Avenue Line (1950s) [DVD]This lovingly made film contains rare footage of the Third Avenue Elevated Railway in Manhattan, which was torn down fifty years ago and replaced by the modern subway system. The harpsichord score is the perfect accompaniment to the whimsical story of this film, which revolves around a coin stuck to the floor of the car. There are so many great shots of 1950s New York here, including Bowery Street, the Bronx, old trains, and many shots of landmarks and buildings. We ride on the train as it winds its way through apartment buildings, past webs of clotheslines, and around factories. We get a taste of what it must have been like to ride the old el through the eyes of different passengers, including a bum, a little girl, and a young man. This charming ode to a bygone era is a must see for anyone interested in vintage film of New York City, or vintage train cars and stations.
