A beautiful series of films!! THANK YOU again for sharing them!

The good ole Southern Pacific. Thanks for the video and excellent footage Fmnut ! 😊

Those open auto racks with the classic cars are awesome !

This is a wonderful series! The sound and the subject matter are absolutely spot-on to my childhood memories. Please keep them coming! Thanks so much!

So cool this was taken one year before I was born I grew up next to the SP Shasta route it was my backyard so seeing these locomotives bring back memories and to see all those vehicles in those open auto rocks was the icing on the cake Chevy blazer’s and Camaros I wonder if any of those vehicles are still around thanks for sharing 😁

Excellent video and thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching.

I had no idea that the BN had any other color of boxcar but green and yet here is a yellow one

Pretty cool video. I had went to the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad yesterday.

I was wondering what that was! Had me scratching my head for a minute there. Thought that was a pantograph on the cab roof at first.

Great stuff but too bad the camera couldn't be on the sunny side of the tracks.

A sd45x #9504 ,was in the mix.

If you watch the rest of the series you will see more of them.

And the reason why they took out Seymour’s line and Hilberts line was because lack of rail traffic and lack of rail service too?

An ice knocker. It chipped off icicles hanging from tunnel and snowshed ceilings before they could damage vehicles on the top deck of the open auto racks then in use.

@@fmnut Ok thanks! I thought by the shape it prolly had something to do with tunnels but no idea what.
