Pretty nice film. Watch at 3/4 speed tho.

Wow, I remember all of that! Graduated from Shadle in 1960.

I honestly wish I could’ve grown up in times with these classic railroads, my grandpa was born in ‘59 so this is a bit difficult to wrap my head around since I was born in ‘08, but even so I still love seeing these old workhorses back in the day

My Grandpa started out working for Great Northern, it's funny to think he could have been the engineer on one of those engines. His name was Dean Abbott, if anyone knew him I'd love to hear any stories you might have about him. He drove freight from Spokane to Whitefish for 20+ years.

Though I was born in 63 I remember George Ft. Wright Air Force Base being Fort Wright College in the 70s run by the Holy Names nuns. My brother went to college there. It’s nice that they kept a lot of the original buildings from the base at that time. Nice video!

awsome, thanks for sharing. Only a few clips on the internet including the ol' SP&S.

WOW!!! thanx for posting this!! spokane has changed so much over the years. train tracks gone, other stuff built... i couldn't identify the large white building on the north side of the river, by the flour mill. any body know what it was? not part of the bakery? and, i didnt even know footage of natatorium park existed!!

This footage may as well be from 1901. The camera didn't seem to advance in a 100 years but they sure built cities like it was going out of style. Our civilization is a lie and this footage proves it

I love this. Thanks for posting!

Very cool. Thank you for posting.

FANTASTIC!! Wow! I was less than a year old and my family moved up here in April of 69 and our little town has grown nicely over the years. Thanks for sharing this wonderful classic footage Yeah Spokane!

Is that a hobo at 0:10 ?

This is just fantastic. Thanks

My Dad would have enjoyed these old film's. He was born in Sacred Heart Hosp, in 1938 he went in the Navy in 56 but moved back in 1964 the year I was born...But He told me all about Spokane. The Roller Coaster in Natatorium Park( The Jackrabbit) was one thing he Loved!!!! R.I.P DAD😘

Just wonderful! Thank you for posting! =^..^=

Florence who , wonder

Our valley sure has grown

Thank you for this. It's neat seeing my home 15 years before I was even born. While I've traveled a lot & lived other places, Spokane is and always will be home to me.

These clips show the old High Bridge train trestle (now gone) that brought the trains in over the Spokane River from the west side into Kendall Yards. My uncles, who grew up on the Sunset Hill, regaled to us their dare-deviled antics of playing "chicken" as kids, running across this trestle before the trains came! At about the 4min30sec point of this video, the older boy looks just like my Uncle Richard!!!! Would the owner of this video please contact me and let me know who these kids might be? Thanks! sxtn102 at that yahoo dot com email location

Neat to see--would love some more information about this film. Who made it? Do you have any other films of Spokane?

Whoa.. What a horrible Sunday morning stroll! Those horn blowers are annoying! I think I would've wished I stayed in bed! Couldn't get thru the whole video without the mute button! I'm sure you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! :-)

Was this a demonstration or a parade? Kinda hard to tell. :)

That's awesome..too bad the weather sucked. It looks windy & chilly but I'm sure after a few shots you warm right up! :) Thanks for sharing your great video! :)

Cool! They seem a bit different then here in the USA but very colorful. Did you win? :)

wow thank for sharing this. I grew up in spokane and long to see the old photos

Really me a 15 year old kid who has been ridding for 3 years now doesn't think twice about wearing a helmet ur friend is a ignorant old man that should take mountain biking seriously and wear a helmet
