Nice video. I worked there in the spring and summer of 1977, with Great western Tours and the dinner trains that operated on Saturday nights. Steam, Baldwin diesels, double headers, plus the Nevada Copperbelt Hallscott #21 to Chinese and return. Good times, lots of work and hot weather.

That a good thing to remember if you are the silent generation and the baby boomer generation.

Great show - keep 'em coming!

These old videos bring back memories of when steam was prominent for passenger excursions on the Sierra. Thanks for sharing!

At 1:25 the cameraman must be standing on the Shady Rest water tower, the tower the girls would bathe in for the show. This is a camera angle not seen on Petticoat Junction.
