John Prophet III captured the trackside videos of the PRR, ERIE, NYC, and other railroads in 1930s to late 1950s on 16 mm film. These are silent films, but John is interviewed and explains what is going on in these amazing videos. There are videos here of trains racing along mainlines with water scoops out scooping water on the fly as they move along at track speed. John was an expert on the Horseshoe Curve and has a large number of videos of that portion of the curve including some videos out the back of a train.
Amazing stuff!
