NEB&W's Visitors' Guide to Albert Mallory's Movie of Troy

Last Update: 2007-06-10

Albert Mallory filmed the action around the Troy depot from 1957 through the demolition of the station and the last train in 1963. Thanks to the people who donated funds to set up the web cam, and the work of James Lauser, we are able to bring you footage. All movies are encoded in Quicktime (free download for Windows and Macintosh). Low resolution versions require Quicktime 4, high resolution version require Quicktime 6.
