Wow, this is awesome! What is this, some time in the 1930's? Looks like mid 1930's I'm guessing, a lot of 2-6-0 and 4-4-0 action there! Look at that rail too! Wow, barbed wire baby! Love it!
9:12 Would like to add: See, not every steam engine was covered with soot, dust, rust, mud or lime deposit as most model rails tend to weather them. 9:49 Amazing how large even tank engines are as proven by the size of the men on the pilot stirrups !!
Thanks, Skipper!!
1:56 First time I've seen polling !! Thanks. I actually did that on my HO layout using half a toothpick...
FANTASTIC footage! Indispensable for model railroaders like myself. Thank you for posting this precious gem of railroading history .
AAHH the good old days when life was simple and easy wish time machines were real I'd love to see trains back in the day

I think you are seeing a range of dates from the late 30's/early 40's into the 50's.

- Great, thanks!
@@sjwhitney I agree. The cars shown at 1:30 (Main between Spring and Elm) appear to be 1951-3
At 1:51-1:56, what the....?
