Central Railroad of New Jersey "The Glory Days"

Growing up in Fanwood, NJ in the Fifties and Sixties, the CNJ was my home town railroad. Almost all steam, with a bit of the Pennsy, Reading (Crusader) and Leaky Valley as well. (15) Central Railroad of New Jersey "The Glory Days" - YouTube

This is your lucky day

Beat you to it by 3/5ths!  I've got "Along The JC" Volumes 1 through 3 and have enjoyed them immensely!  I'm thinking about Volumes 4 and 5 but haven't made the jump yet.

The Pechulis videos are masterpieces, no doubt about it!  The restoration and enhancement work are just amazing!  Bow

Me too for Fanwood.  My dad commuted on the Jersey Central to New York and Bayonne from Fanwood for some number of years (until we moved to Westfield. Yes, at first, it was almost all steam, camelbacks, but there was also the Royal Blue for going to DC.
