I WANT ONE

Thank you for posting these videos! It's a blast from my past and brings back such good memories. My parents used to take me to Fullerton Station as a cheap source of entertainment when I was little, and I still thank them to this day for doing so. This of course caused my lifelong love of trains. I went back to Fullerton Station in October 2023, its definitely changed, but I love it! I forgot how bare bones Fullerton used to be, but that's part of the charm. Still love to see those hot Santa Fe trains ripping through Fullerton in the 80's! Your other videos are just as good, and still a blast from the past! The quality is quite excellent, what equipment were you using back then? Again, thanks for sparking some very beloved memories!

I just love the caboose, they seemed to have a spirit & personality of their own. This may sound silly, but I think they're so cute. They look comfy too. 😅❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Well, at least you're not bitter.

Tolvas de Nacionales de México y CEMEX😍

I know the owner of the 113

And of course schellvile right across from that Depot is the home of the Golden gate railroad Museum now

Massive condo development everywhere in this video except around Roncesvalles Car House.

1:39 It feels so weird to not see the the Old Town Transit Center there

Absolutely splendid video!!!! EXCELLENT!!!! EXCELLENT!!!! EXCELLENT!!!! Great videography capturing a nice cross-section of freight cars that weren’t yet annihilated with graffiti. Much of the Espee power was still intact. And when you could hang out along the tracks and even camp. Truly one of, if not the best train vid that I have ever seen. This also pays great homage to two of the neatest railroads and one of the most beautiful locations to shoot them ever.

This was my favorite time in life for trains. I was 12 my father worked for SP . One of his jobs on the Oregon coast was to run in front of trains,from the coos bay depot to Florence or vice versa opening trestle's. If things were just right I could ride in the engine or caboos for over 80 beautiful coastal miles. I was so lucky and did not know it at the time.Those men were always so nice to me.

I used to see these at J.&.L Steel in Cleveland Ohio, when I worked at a Excavating Company, and I was fueling 977 Cat loaders 😊

I like Seeing These Smaller Locamotives Their Like Toys 👍 👌

Thank you for this video. Really captures the feeling of the park and ride well when it first opened.

Gaauh damn. The things we used to be so used to seeing = just GONE !

Man I miss the SP

Rip Conrail B36-7 5045 (1983-1987)

Nice video.

I don't remember people facing backwards on the Comet! Was it always that way?

What was so cool was the Art Deco styling of many of the vintage rides and structures. Loved the look of it all. Such a shame it is gone.

The best engines ever built. I ran those engines in passenger service on Amtrak and SP officers specials. Ran those Heels also. Never really liked the jeeps because you can't see out of them with the high nose. The fuel tanks on the 3200$ were spilt in half. Half water and half diesel. Later the tanks were modified to hold all diesel. Unfortunately all the units have been scrapped. These units were built in 1967 or 68. Great look back at Anacrime

Sure miss that old place. Awesome footage. Thanks for posting.

Wow! That just brought me back to riding them in the early 1980s. The best coasters ever. I'm 56 and wishing I was there hitting the big drop on 'Twister' as I use to call it. Thank you for posting.😊❤

NICE video!❤😊

How long is a car? I imagine it varies. Thanks!😊

Wow I forgot what railroad cars looked like without all the tagging they do now

Love 💕 those high hoods

Growing up from early childhood to adult, I lived in three regions of the West Coast where the Southern Pacific was a dominant railroad, starting with Klamath Falls Oregon, Citrus Heights California, between Sacramento and Roseville, and finally Redlands California near Loma Linda, Colton, and San Bernardino. I was always near a major SP yard or mainline, and developed a strong love and admiration for those big grey and scarlet six axal EMDs, such as the SD9s, SD40s, SD45s, and SD40T-2s. While I also saw plenty of Burlington Northern action living in Klamath Falls in the mid to late 70s, and seen my fair share of Union Pacific, and Santa Fe living in So-Cal in the 80s to the present, I'll always miss and have fond memories of the once mighty SP. Now my favorite RR is the UP, thanks to them bringing the most famous steam giant back to life, the Big Boy 4014, which is an awe inspiring sight to behold, as I got to see it three times in person, twice in Colton California, before and after it's restoration, and a few months ago in Ogden Utah, as I now live in West Valley Utah, which is a cool Frontrunner commuter train ride from Salt Lake City to Ogden. While I'll never see the SP in action in person again, I thank all the SP fans that have made videos of the SP doing it's thing, and showing them on YT, so a SP fan like me can relive the fond memories of those big grey and scarlet six axial EMDs roaring by pulling always impressive mile long or longer freights. For me the Southern Pacific never disappointed when putting on a show.

Love those trains!

I'm still enjoying your videos each year.

In September 2024, 60 years after being built as Seaboard Air Line 1111, SCL 612, SCL 1962,, SBD 7044, SWPC 4411, Has been CUT-Up and no longer exists. Sad, this unit needed to be saved !

1989 must not have been a good year for railroading, as later on, the Duffy St. incident would prove deadly.

I loved this place! I spent so many summers there! Best place ever!🎉🎉🎉

3:52-3:57 Gesundheit!

That final scene.. that the modern WLE Sandy branch.

About 30 minutes in on the UP main it seems that trains aren't moving fast for being put in the country and 3 track main

I came back to this video as it is AWESOME

I wish that GCI would make a 4-seater version of Millennium Flyer trains that is similar to those Church’s 4-seater trains.

That is old school but now they built a new bridge

That's old school now they got a bridge over

I'm trying to imagine a 1/14 remote control model of this... I suspect it would be bigger than my house

I remember going with my girlfriend’s having lots of fun & buying salt water taffy 🍬 & sugar waffles & Crystal Beach suckers for my Mom!

Pretty crisp looking footage for amateur tape. What were you shooting on/to back then?

It honestly doesn't look that different today, although the bell instead of the whistle caught me by surprise.

And I thought the Sky Streak was intense!

Wow, that year I was born

Amazing footage ...shame they replaced them for the awful morgan trains..Like the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park😢

Is the Fireman Hector Durazo?

Name of the train
