Review of Memories of the CNJ B&O and Reading Vols 1 and 2 DVD

Memories of CNJ, B&O and RDG Volume 1

Shared by the Jersey Central, Baltimore & Ohio, and Reading Railroads the terminal hosted hundreds of daily train movements. You'll visit the classic terminal in its heyday and observe the action at Communipaw engine terminal, Newark Bay Drawbridge, Elizabethport and other locations along the Jersey Central Main Line.

Coverage of the unique B&O bus connection originating at Rockefeller Center, a ferry ride across the Hudson and the unique bus turntable at the terminal is also presented.

Among the locomotives and trains featured are Reading's steam powered Crusader; an unusual variety of CNJ steam and diesels, including camelbacks, Trainmasters, and Babyface units; and B&O EA passenger diesels on the Royal Blue. The orginally-silent film has been enhanced by the addition of authentic locomotive and environmental sounds.
