Heck I was only a couple of months old when this footage was taken. Way cool equipment! It's too bad these are all gone today. It would be nice to be able to go back and watch this all firsthand. I remember seeing these trains a bit later when my dad would take us on vacation to visit his grandmother up in Poughkeepsie. We would visit his aunt and uncle in the Queens first then head up to Hopewell Jct. where great grandma had her summer cottage.
In the first part of the video note the electrics are running with their pantographs down due to running on third-rail into the Park Avenue Tunnel to Grand Central.
Hey Paul (pweiser), take a look at this!
