Cool video, Ed, thanks for posting.

I had to look twice, but didn't the first train have a couple of Penn Central
units leading? I didn't know there was a power pool between SCL and PC.

Yes it did that was the Miami Chicago train the South Wind.

Thanks, Ed! Brought back a few memories!

I'm very thankful you shared these with us. Videos of SCL passenger trains are very few and these were fun to watch! Thanks again.

Great video, candidly that's some of the best 8mm footage I've viewed; sharp, clean, no "flicker", no color smear, and good tone with no shift.
Very nice; I loved that South Wind too, note by '69 the PRR and L&N contribution to the consist is down to nothing, except the pool E unit's.
Even those are not-for-long as PC shortly killed the through service, cutting it back to a cross platform transfer at Louisville to the connecting coach remnant to Chicago.
One wonders if this provided any "lift" to the City of Miami's ridership.
Thanks again.

Ed, That was wonderful! I was often trackside for the morning rush hour in the last 60's. It was a great show. If you have more Florida movies please post them!
