The dates on this video are really helpful, particularly when the narrator says something happened a quarter-century ago, then you realize it’s been another quarter-century since then.

Inside the lumber factory features in another of your superb videos; it's a fascinating addition to the railroad aspects.

"Changing the crew on the roll"; never gonna see that again.

Beautiful depiction! I’m old enough to remember seeing a steam engine-led NWP passenger train leave the San Rafael station heading north one evening in 1955. A great railroad! Too bad the Eel River problems made it too expensive to maintain.

It’s Schellville. Near Sonoma, CA.

I have this DVD and my favorite

As a young kid living on the NWP's 'North End' (North of Willits) during the late 1970s and early 1980's, it was common to see two or more caboose on a train, as seen briefly in part of this DVD, but to this day I still am not sure of why?

Jus like any empty rolingstock they have to take them wheir their needed.samething woth locomotives occasionally you will see the head end of a locomotve have 15vor 20 locomotives they are not using that much power on head end they jus have a bunch of locomotives on one end of system an have to take them back to other end system same with caboose

My dad worked for SP and sometimes they would move crews that way for maintenance

[@kelvintorrence5994]

Those guys cannot do that with a caboose 2day like that
