I came across this video and wanted to share it. Thought that you guys would be interested. Amazing how people dressed back then. The men wore suits. The ladies are wearing dresses.

Haha, I just noticed the guy with the stop/go sign. Imagine having that job? Standing out in all kinds of weather. Hot, cold, car exhaust, smog.

 
Lol funny coincidence. At 6:21 is the old Lyons farm schoolhouse which is in Newark NJ. I was working there last week and was standing there looking at it same view as the film.
 
Huh the first two scenes are tagged wrong. That's the old H&M Railroad (now PATH train) Terminal at Park Pl/Center St before it was moved to Newark Penn Station in the 30s. (the "to New York" on the building pinged to me).

The old right of way where it previously crossed the Passaic river is still visible on satellite imagery.

Thus concludes today's lesson in useless railroad trivia.
