Earle Baldwin Posted September 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2007 Neff Video Productions offers an hour long program titled "PCC in Toronto." It was filmed in 1974 and provides fairly comprehensive coverage of Toronto's trolley network prior to delivery of the CLRV's when regular service was still covered exclusively by PCC cars. The camera work is well done and the quality of the pre-camcorder images is fine for its time. The film is accompanied by a jazzy soundtrack suitable for vignettes of vintage electric traction. Included in the action are scenes of multiple unit operation along Queen Street and views of cars at the outlying end of the Long Branch Line, a nice bonus. I owned the VHS version of this program for years and purchased its DVD equivalent when it became available. At a price of $24.95, it is money well spent for the enthusiast who would like a concise, well produced motion picture record of PCC operation in Toronto. For those interested, Neff's website is www.neffvideo.com. Regards, Earle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earle Baldwin Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted September 13, 2007 NJTransitFan: You probably noticed it already if you checked the website but Neff also offers a program titled "New Jersey Transit Push Pull." It's a high quality program covering the North Jersey Coast Line between Bay Head and Matawan. It was taped before the arrival of the ALP44's so there are numerous scenes of E60's and Arrow III's while they were still running on the NJCL. If you're an NJT fan you'll like it.

Harry Posted September 13, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2007 I definitely want to see the Amtrak Cab Ride Night Train To Manhattan. That looks like a great video to watch. I think I might order that one for myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earle Baldwin Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted September 14, 2007 Harry: I have the night cab ride video. It's one of my favorites. The combination of the snow flying and drama of night make it very exciting. I will post a short review of it in the Amtrak Forum in the next few days. I'm sure any Amtrak fan would like it.
