New Haven Railroad 16MM (Silent) Movies

SPECIAL NOTICE!!! These movies vanished without a trace while changing hands to be digitized. This is the only current copy left outstanding so if anyone sees this footage elsewhere, please notify me. As you can see, this video now starts off with a trip on the B&M up the New Hampshire Division to White River Junction. It is followed by added New Haven Railroad footage before getting back to the footage that was previously uploaded. Now back to the regular description: This collection of 16MM silent footage of the New Haven Railroad is actually the property of the Shelburn Falls (MA) Trolley Museum. It first came to my attention during a visit several years ago and I became caretaker of the reels because the museum had no proper storage facility. At that time I also acquired an old Bell & Howell 16MM movie projector and set out to make a crude video tape copy for easy viewing until such time that the movies could be properly transferred. Today the movies have indeed moved on for eventual transfer to DVD now that digital production has caught up with us. However, I still had this old video tape copy and managed to get it transferred to YouTube for your enjoyment until such time that the original footage can get onto DVD in high quality. So, get out the drool bucket and sit back to almost an hour of rare New Haven Railroad footage. Most of this was shot in the Providence, RI area but does venture as far west on an excursion train to the Poughkeepsie Bridge. Also, visit the Shelburn Falls Trolley Museum website and maybe make a donation to them: http://www.sftm.org Visit the NMRO Products page at: http://www.nmro.org/products.htm
