Eastern Railroad Discussion > Enola Yard

The vast rail yard at Enola, PA, I've been visiting this location since I was 15 years old. It was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad, then through a merger with the New York Central, it became a Penn-Central yard, later through a consolidation of the bankrupt north east railroads, and it became Conrail which consolidated all the North east bankrupt's. Finally it is now Norfolk Southern’s yard. In this video we see Penn-Central operations filmed by me with an 8mm movie camera, much more variety of locomotives back then plus the old "IRON BRIDGE" offered better photo opportunities than the present concrete one with its "gun slots" for photography, then there's less opportunities since 9-11 to move around at will for photo's. Now we move on to present day operations which I filmed January 17, 2015, still much activity. Incidentally my first trip here at the age of 15 in 1955 was in the company of the late Mr. George (Bud) Rothaar, my mentor, and the late Don Wood.

Thanks again Ed, Ken

Nice job Ed! Wish you had footage from when Conrail was running!

You said that the PC videos at Enola were from movies. How did you digitize them? They came out great.

The 8mm film was digitized to Mini DV by a commercial video outfit.
Ed K.

Can you let me know which outfit digitized it via private message (to not place ads here)?
