So NICE to see graffiti free cars!!!!

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Thanks brookswilson agreed, we think many people don't even remember how good clean cars looked with their correct colors and logos. Perfect for modeling and remembering! Plus, railroads used more blue, yellow, green and red in there schemes!

AMEN! This Was The First Time For Me To See This Great WP Video! and While I Was Watching I Thought To Myself “It’s Great to See Original Paint jobs of these all these Engines & Freight Cars,without all of The Damned Graffiti!!! Many of These WP Diesels I Photographed in Dead Lines,in Little Rock,Arkansas,with a few Rock Island GP35’s & GP 40’s in the mid to late 1980’s

Thanks for posing! I used to watch WP action along with the Rio Grande at Roper Yard in Salt Lake.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Wow, that must have been some really sweet train watching! There were plenty of other great roads around as well. I always loved seeing the DRGW GP-30's and the SD-7s and SW-1500s!

[@TB-ModelRR]

Love me some WP!

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Yeah Man, TB-ModelRR we are right with you! More to come soon for sure.

Fantastic video! Grateful for the guys who went out there with their film video cameras. Merger is such a nice word for assimilation and erasure.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Yeah SPSteve, those guys really did an unbelievable job with their film cameras. Especially when you consider 3 minute spools and all the other problems that could be a challenge. Fortunately, most of our movies have many contributors, so we had more film to work with which really helps cover the decades!

Look at all those new police cars on that train as it goes around the loop.

[@patricknoveski6409]

How does U.P. contantly swallow up all of the other western R.R.'s. That makes no sense. No one to keep their shipping costs down. Meanwhile, men & women who built these other railroads just fall in line, and the consumer takes the hit. Good job, Government. 😢

[@lthdean]

More WP F's PLEASE.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

OK, we will get some more on the lineup! They are our favorites too!

Nice to see some 1980s footage. Sometimes it feels like there's lots of footage from every time period EXCEPT the 80s. Like, railfanning died off in 1980 and then became a thing again in 1999. Maybe its just me though 😄

[@charlessmileyvideos]

You're right but for one thing. The 80s brought in portable VHS cameras that were used a lot by railfans. However, the VHS tape picture quality was so inferior to Kodak color movie film in 8mm, Super-8mm and 16mm that most of those old VHS amateur tapes were, thankfully, tossed in the dumpster. (even 8-mm film was far better). It wasn't until the late 1980s that very expensive portable video field cameras ($5000 and up!) were used by commercial railfan video companies that things got better.

[@TheMann2000]

Would be possible to improve the quality of those VHS recordings or are they simply too poor to be able to be improved?

@@charlessmileyvideos You always have interesting things to share about not only trains and history, but film too. Thank you for the reply!
