This is a companion video to he Digital Image Works, Steam & Electric Years 1936-1392. The steam years begins in the Philadelphia Terminal Division with a look at PRR K4's and the Jersey shore. Additionally at 30th Street are the odd B1's working the coach yard and a K4 on the West Philadelphia Elevated Branch going to Greenwich yard. Scenes on the PRSL in the South Jersey locations of Wildwood Jct., Tuckahoe Jct. and Ocean City. Watch the E6 pacing shots on the Cape MAy Branch at 75 mph in 1955.
The Electric years begin working west on the mainline fromGlen Loch to Thorndale and Coatsville, PA.. Views of the last stand of P5 motors as they haul tonnage along side GG1's and the new E44 motors. An intense look at the THORN tower and the traffic over the Philadelphia and Thorndale branch as well as the Trenton Cut-off at "DALE" interlocking.
The films presented here were shot by Richard T. Lane, a 20 year employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Lane's work captures the steam era scenes from 1955-1956 and the electric era from 1962-1964. With his assistance, Mr. Lane has given the viewer factually correct, narrative detail rendering this tape a truly great peice of history. Retiring from the Pennsylvania Railroad Mr. Lane became the curator of the Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. He continues his interest in railroading as a member of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historic Society.
