California Rails - A mid-1950s journey

California Rails - A mid-1950s journey. A nostalgic railroad trip, it’s the mid-1950s and we travel thru central and northern California. Its the Central valley farmlands and mountain landscapes in the north. The railway bridge over Carquinez Strait and the bridge over Suisun marshlands and waters of the straits. Tunnels and Rolling hills. So, without any delay - all aboard and enjoy!
