Pennsylvania RR – Video Transition from Steam to Diesel
Program by Tim Moore
Beginning in the summer of 1952, Emery Gulash began capturing prolific amounts of activity on this well known railroad. Back in 1952 Emery did not realize that in a few years the railroad would merge with the New York Central and be called the Penn Central. This DVD covers the time frame from 1952 to 1969. Follow Emery and his 16mm Bolex cameras as he records in beautiful color the end of steam and the transition to first generation diesels. You’ll see Decapods, Baldwin Centipedes, and Sharks, ‘F’ units, early Geeps, GG-1’s, Alco RS-3’s, just to name a few.
Join us at 7:00 pm at The Center, the former L&N Depot Near Arch and Main Streets in Madisonville, Kentucky.
