At some point a few years ago I stumbled upon a YouTube video titled ‘Conrail Smokes Up The Hoboken Division’. It was a great sequence; I could and did watch it time and again but it has since disappeared. I have no idea who posted it or where it came from.. if it was ever published? I think it was 8mm Film from very early Conrail day’s showing a mixed lashup of ex Reading, Lehigh Valley, Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna - one of which had a very Smokey mechanical failure that ended the trains progress until help arrived - 3 GP-9’s to push over the grade. Anyone else remember seeing this video? I’d love to see it again.
