5:27 I used to live in Temecula, in the East Loma Linda neighborhood right next to where Pechanga Casino was build before and as they were developing and changing the casino from the large tent it was in the mid nineties. Just west of where the author of "Perry Mason', Erle Stanley Gardner lived before 1970. I used to ride me bike with my best friend all throughout the hills there behind Pechanga Parkway back when it was Pala Rd. We rode out bikes down Via Edwardo, past the END sign, and down and past Via Oddesa before it was the semi dirt road and part of the gold course of the Temecula Creek Inn it stole from us kids(at least that's how we looked at it), that is it now, when we used to call it "the riverbed". During rainy seasons it FILLED with water, and mud and we had a lot of fun back then. We even built into the "wall" of the river bed, looking back on it now, and very dangerous dirt cave that could've collapsed on us. We often rode to the many trails in the hills back there. Built small bike jumps, farther up the trails there was even a before our time built almost "dirt bike dirt half pipe" large ramp/jump that I was too scared to ride up more than once but my best friend could do multiple times no problem. In the middle of the field in 1993 there was an old 50s truck stuck there. There were old foundations of homes in those hills and remains of 1 or 2 adobe mud and straw walled homes. There also used to be a small pond a little higher up the trails. My mother has lots of pictures. During one of my walks up there as a kid in the early nineties I found a single random railroad nail up there. I forget exactly where and how I found it, but I bet it was from the train track that got swept away. I still have it in my random things box, all rusted.

My grandmother was born in Tuscon Az and was a halfbreed...English and Yaqui Native. She remembers when she was around 3 years old her family moved to Southern California in a covered wagon on the "wooden street". The railroad tracks. People were mean to them because they were native and there was no water at times. Strong woman her whole life. I have a creamer from that crossing that I cherish.

Ray Starr SDSU RR Historian. Years ago I heard a story about some guy owned property that is now Rancho Santa Fee. This guy clamed that eucalyptus tree would make great RR ties, the trees grew fast and straight and resistant to bugs and rot but eucalyptus was not a good RR tie. Any truth to this story? I also heard that a ship builder was suckered into property that is now known as Scripts Ranch as eucalyptus would make great masts for sailing ships.

That’s a true story, a bunch of people planted tons of eucalyptus trees around San Diego and in the desert. They were thinking because it grows so fast and doesn’t need much water it would be perfect. There was some commercial uses if they could figure out something to do with the wood. They had a use for the oils from the tree but were kind of gambling people would use the wood which is too spongy. The owner of the Santa Fe Railroad went to Australia and got a bunch of different types of eucalyptus and planted thousands for railroad ties. But… the railroad company found the eucalyptus was hard to dry out/cure, would warp, and they wouldn’t hold the railroad tie. You’d think they would have tried using a couple for ties before planting thousands of trees lol. I don’t know what they use in Australia I kind of figured they have a species of eucalyptus that works for railroad ties but maybe they just use a different wood.

This is a great documentary, in the 70's I was a teenager and it was well known that on any Saturday get up to Campo by noon and there were box car parties. The most spectacular ride to El Centro, you needed to make sure somebody with a station wagon would meet you in El Centro to get you back to Campo. Later in the 80's as a contractor SDG&E hired me to work on a tower some where out near the Colorado River. We took off from El Cajon in there helicopter, on the way east I was telling the pilot about the box car party that started in Campo. Well hang on to your shorts because the pilot did a sharp turn to the south. Before we knew it we were we were above Campo and only a 100 foot above the rail tracks. 100 miles of in and out up and down everything but the tunnels. What a ride. I get dropped off on a sand dune and there it was a 300 foot tower that needed a new light bulb. The tower got struct by lightning so this was an emergency job. To my surprise this tower had an elevator not like the kind you see in any high rise this was a 3 foot X 3 foot thing you could stand on and ride to the top of the world. This was a first for me and this is only half the story. The pilot dropped me off and continued someplace to refuel, I do my job and an hour latter I am back in the air. Part of my agreement to fly with SDG&E in there helo was on the way back to San Diego was there pilot would inspect there transmission lines all the way back from the Colorado river to Otay Lake in SD. I didn't have a problem with that. This was 1 incredible day of my life I will never forget just I had a camera because you would be watching my video and not this one. All kidding aside this was a great documentary, so many things I never knew about SD.

Worked for corrizo gorge railway around 2004 doing track repair for hauling sand to campo. We worked plaster city to Mexico. Was a fun adventure for a young man. In my early 20's. We had multiple derails in the gorge. It was no joke then. No room for heavy equipment. We hired house movers. To jack the cars up in the air and then we would rebuilt the tracks under them. Must of bin some task building it. Turns are to tight and soft the train just pushes them out of spec. It will never be refurbished. Even when new it was impossible and it will always remain that way. It's to slow for any union to pick up. Also there is graveyard just before dos cabasas. West side of inkopah. High on at the top of the gorge. We're many of the ill workers were laid to rest. Nobody ever mentions it. Many unmarked. Little foot trail used to lead up it.
