@@charlessmileyvideos Two questions: Is this film ("Unbelievable Scenes Cab Forwards, SP...") possibly "Vintage SP West" on your web site? After a dead-end on your "Shop" page, I finally found videos to rent but not to own. Above you mention it's available for purchase. True? To your "shop" page, you might want to add a link regarding renting or owning your films. Wonderful work!

Wonderful photography, map details, etc. This will make for good presents for my brothers. It will also be interesting to see what other films you have. Once again, well done!

Thanks! that was a cool flashback to the road trips to many of the still relatively unexplored State and National Parks around N CA with my parents back in the mid 60’s. The steam engines were gone, but there were still plenty of trains to watch on the tracks that most of the highways at the time were built parallel to. Some of those relatively primitive two lane roads you see are actually State Highways, I even remember some of the buildings we often drove past. But my keys, where are my keys, my glasses,? lol. Back in the 60’s a kids playground at San Francisco Zoo had a couple of steam engines on display that we kids got to climb all over and under, but they were eventually taken away after the hazardous nature of asbestos became known. The vintage jets at a different playground were also removed, but that’s a different story. We took turns robbing the train, having gunfights, dying and falling off into the sand, ah the fun bone breaking things today’s kids miss out on.

My cousin was the "Schellville Blacksmith" his shop and home were directly across the tracks from the Schellville Depot. The mainline was right next to his property, that is where the SP Crews would come in from the Napa side, tie up and switch to North Western Pacific RR Crews, there actually was Section Gang there also, bunkhouse, cook house chow hall, and shop all using older rail cars, before the NWP became part of SP. The turning "Y" was right behind his property. Trains still went from Schellville north into Sonoma. I still remember Steam Switchers working the yard at Schellville.

The DVDs look stunning on a high quality disc player and moden OLED TV for those apprehensive about no Blu-ray version. While I wish CSPs titles were available in BD myself, the quality of the story telling and narration makes up for it. Really relaxing and enjoyable with no filler content. These aren't your low effort run of the mill productions.

In the early 1950s my mom and I took a train from Sacramento to San Diego. Leaving Sac were were in a short train pulled by a oil fired steam engine. It took us to a main line and dropped the cars off on a siding. In a couple minutes a diesel passenger train coupled our cars on the end and we went down the valley to LA. And the a commuter train to San Diego. The most interesting part of passenger cars to a 4 year old, was the toilets. They had the usual seat, but the toilet was metal and had little water. When you flushed it, you stepped on a pedal that caused a slide to open in the bottom. As long as you held the pedal down the bottom was open. When I looked down, you could see the RR ties going by. What's that tell you.
