These are awesome! Glad you found them and shared them :) The tunnel in part two looks like the rr tunnel at point of rocks. It was great to see the Harpers Ferry rr working in the third video. Great footage for 1917! thanks!
Yeah, it's not just old, it's interesting. I enjoyed watching it, glad you did too.
