I like this interesting look into the past. What looks different and what looks the same. Road signs and railroad lights still look exactly the same, 1:40 Chicken in a basket for 85cents!
A US Dollar went quite a ways in 1958 when we moved from near Portland Ore. to Reno, Nevada. I was six years old then and I bet that was pretty good fried chicken. My Dad was very generous and gave us an allowance of two silver Dollars a week. I used to go to a drive in near Reno High where half of the place was a Dairy Queen and the other half of the same bldg had hot food. It was called "The Fat Boy" Ten cents would buy a whole platter of refried beans w/onions and cheese, and for desert one time I bought the biggest cone DQ sold for a Quarter. I remember feeling kind of embarrassed cause the cone was so big and I was a little kid. Funny how we think and what gets remembered. The place was replaced by a bank in the 70's. Seemed weird since they were literally right next door to the high school and had lotsa business. I love this site. Thank-You to those doing the work to keep it going!!!
Wow, the most powerful locomotive of the world at 16.30 minutes. UP:s 8500hp gas turbine electric, spanking new at the time. First was delivered in august 1958.
There are now much more powerful fully electric locomotives drawing from overhead wires, as seen on Swedish Ore Trains, for example, with more than 15,000 hp per locomotive.
Man, when I was 9 years old my dad had me drive a tractor with a chopper box through a small town of about 2000 people, I was still about 7 years away from gettin a license. It was kind of scary at the time. However, by the time I got my drivers permit I was already experienced with driving on public roads.
Actor William Boyett (The Trooper) Served in the Pacific Theater with the US Navy during World War II. - He also played a sergeant on the old Adam 12 police TV series.
Geez, "Frank" not only didnt use his turn signal when cutting in front of Alan's "car" (pickup truck) but "Frank" was going highway speed for at least 6 seconds at one point out of several! while his head was completely turned around to wave at "Alan" behind him! he drove about 1/10th of a mile or 528 feet without looking!
@@bobbyheffley4955 Frank was driving about 60 mph with his head turned completely around to WAVE at Allen in his truck behind him for about 6 seconds! so he drove about 1/10th of a mile without looking where he was going, no wonder he crashed into the train!
Now days this sort of thing still occurs People being careless when it comes to trains Just does n t figure Unfortunately Frank and Helen could n t enjoy more beautiful summer days to come
Im more scared of that cop who turns up and ruins a fambly gathering on on lovely afternoon...with the implicit 'I'll run yor ass off the road Boy' if need be.And it needs.😆😆

Sign, sign, everywhere the signs, signs

Wrong film
Frank was distracted. Now he's dead.
