That is some fun old video. I love the horns.
Do you have more information concerning locations and destination of the trains?

All shot on our former Pennsylvania Railroad line between Temple and South Hamburg, Pa. This was the original Blue Mountain & Reading excursion line. Regular excursion service ended after the 1994 season. There are still a few freight customers on the line, but most of it is now used for car storage. The Alco C630 and GP30 belong to the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society. The Alco is operable, but the GP30 has been out of service for years. The NW2 was the BM&R's first locomotive, ex-Conrail 9220, now scrapped.
