- OK, after a viewer corrected me by indicating that the entire film was shot on the Shasta Route, I completely re-edited this in the correct order and fixing the sound glitches in the previous version. Again, I apologize for the first part of the film from from Portland south which was horrendously red shifted, I did my best to pull out the red without losing color altogether. I also added some PA shots from an old SP safety film. Thanks to Walt Berko/Railroad Video for the film transfers. Sound added from my video library.

Thank you for this video I do enjoy the Pacific Northwest I enjoyed the days of the commercial passenger trains before Amtrak
Wow! Awesome video of vintage railroading! The golden age of railroading, in my opinion, where steam and diesel locomotives were both in operation around the same time period! Really, really nice!
I like the Southern Pacific red & gold paint scheme a lot! Better paint scheme, in my opinion, than the red and black paint scheme of the 60’s-90’s! Really, really nice!
What excellent video! Thanks!
Lots of people in my family worked for the S.P. 1902-1966, from San Francisco & S.F bay & Northern California .
Truck drivers, fork lift operators,lineman, fireman on S.P. ferrys. & engineer on ferrys too.
I enjoyed watching this classic train. It was great to see SP PAs sporting Daylight colors. Thanks for editing and posting this video.
A really great reference video for those of us scale modeling the SP at this time and place. Much appreciated.
Those really were the "Good Old Days."
Saving and sharing.
I remember one summer back in the early 1950’s when my mother took me and my younger brother on the Shasta Daylight from Oakland to Dunsmuir for a visit with her sister. We rode the ferry boat from San Francisco to the Oakland Mole where we boarded the train. We had breakfast in the diner while traveling through the Sacramento Valley. With that first rail trip I was hooked on trains for life.
Nice video, thanks for putting it together including good sound!
Love seeing vintage train movies. That guy at the last RR crossing sure cut it close!
I used to ride SP's Klamath, Oregonian and later years Shasta Daylight from the Oakland Mole to Portland and return. All featured very clean and comfortable accommodations and breath taking scenery if you were lucky enough to be in daylight hours. Thanks for this reminder of some good times.
I road this train as a child from SF to Portland in the early 1950s. Only have vague memories; mostly the dining car and walking from car to car.
Excellent video again. Thank you.
Great footage and nice gadget at the end.
Great video!!
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Really enjoyed it!!!!
I've travelling on Amtrak train even before Amtrak merged private Railroad Company for over 53 years. I hopped once or twice a year acrossing in any part of USA as I love it and no matter if the train is delays or on time because trains travel is a blast with a wonderful socially different people from all over the places and a beauty by looking views passing different areas too. And I'm using mostly sleeper car is the best!
I used take Southern Pacific (SP) Peninsula Commuter trains for years. SP ran between San Francisco and San Jose and now it's called Caltrain extended to Gilroy (south of San Jose).
For now covid and I will resume traveling again. For you guys taking a short trip on Amtrak to see if like the trains before taking long trip. Enjoy!
OMG water towers and round houses, steam and diesel electrics. It was the time of change for Americas rail lines.
Does anybody notice SP GS-6 #4460’s tender peaking out at 5:35? She’s now on display at the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood. Along with her sister 4449 in Portland.
Thank you so much I cant belive I missed that!
Beautiful footage! I'm going to assume the beginning of this film is pre 1955? There was a CNW car in a UP train. Going to guess it was a City of.... something or another. Which reminds me, I have a long haul UP/SP/CNW/MILW HO passenger train to the west coast that I named City of Whatever as the City of Everywhere is already taken. :vD
If you check the title panel at the beginning, I gave an approximate date plus or minus a year or so.
Excellent video. The SP safety film video at the end is the Overland Limited and the San Juaquin Daylight. SP fans can be some of the most nit picky people 😁.
Yes, I knew it wasn't the Shasta but I had to throw it in anyway as the quality is too good not to
@@fmnut i showed these to a former sp loco driver . hes modeling the valley route in his bedroom. thanks for the vistas of long gone.
Saw the Daylight come thru Santa Barbara. 4449 lead. Miss the S.P.
The beet trains too. Damn U.P.
Great
Thx
That was dangerous at 8:40!
This was from an SP safety film, a "don't EVER do this!" example.
You mean 8:35.
@@fmnut yeah. We are not supposed to be beating trains at crossings. You can often get hit by the train.
@@nathancorcoran5347 If you watch the film VERY closely you will see there is a jump cut between the car and train scenes, they were actually shot separately in time.
@@fmnut ok. Yeah. It is shown there.
Man, just think, this was just everyday normal when this was shot. Diesels were nothing new at this point, 4-8-8-2's, 2-10-2's, 4-8-2's, 2-8-0's, 4-8-4's were still pounding up and down the canyons many times per day. Roundhouses still employed hundreds around the clock. Just everyday mundane at the time as all of our lives were today and yesterday and tomorrow. 3/4 of a century from now, our mundane "everyday" will be some young persons "OMG", "holy cow", "look at that", "eh, who cares"....time marches on.
Great stuff as usual from you, but the geographic sequences were all over the place. There is only one Lake Odell, south of Cascade Summit and Shasta Springs was seen twice. But if you're not familiar with the region, you are certainly forgiven.
The film came from two different sources. I edited them separately rather than trying to stitch the scenes geographically. And I'm from Pennsylvania, so thanks for the forgiveness.
Do you by chance have a link to the "Dangerous Playground" film? The one you posted is in MUCH better condition than the others on RUclips and I’d love to see the whole thing.
Sorry, no link available. I got this from a friend who did a film to tape transfer of the original 16mm film.
Would be nice to see it uploaded onto RUclips but that takes some effort.
@@upking9080 watch my channel
sounds like no welded rail here
Welded rail did not become common until well after these films were shot.
Wow, that last shot, of the car playing chicken with the train at crossing. Way to close. Death wish.
It's from a "don't EVER do this" safety film. And it was staged in 2 separate cuts, so no danger.
what the hell the video you posted is scape
