I got my first VHS recorder in 1988...in the time of this video and the time of my camera I noticed that the track speed dropped. I know that the SP was running out of money at that point. Maybe that was why the speed drop. The mainline track never appeared neglected to me.

What an overpowered Helper Set.That train wasn't even that long lol, by the way the SP was the greatest Mountain Railroad ever
@davidwhiting17619 ай бұрын
I'm just awe struck. That's a huge amount of power and even bigger amount of torque given that the slugs only provide pulling force and not horsepower. How heavy was that train that it needed that many helpers and it still needed to be brought up in parts?

Like SO MUCH !!!! I bought my first video camera in January of 1988 so you got footage 2 years before me. It is interesting that between this video and my first video at this location 2 years later you CAN see differences already happening. One thing I noticed is that the carfleet was still all Southern Pacific as SP had not yet been forced to liquidate it s own carfleet to raise survival level cash. After that happened you started seeing The Golden West cars appearing.

That is good business right there at the end. I highly recommend Trainz for the PC and a good rig with a bunch of DLC. for me, it comes in very close to the real thing.

When I worked at North 1st and Trimble, my buddy and I used to take off at lunch and railfan this exact area. Used to hang around the Lenzen Ave roundhouse too, and the College Park tower, all long gone ... 1985 was a great transition era for diesel modellers, with SD9s, SD45PHs, and F40PHs all working Caltrain, and the last two on Amtrak as well.

Yeah baby, 5 tunnel motors and an SD45 powering up! Smoking up a storm too ... I once caught 11 units eastbound out of the Dunsmuir yard most of the units were deadheading but still, it was quite a sight! Wasn't it a bit unusual to have such a mongamous SD45-T2 helper BEHIND the caboose?
