Been fooling around on that addictive YouTube again, and this is what I found: Steam and diesels on the military railroad at Fort Eustis, featuring 2-8-0 612: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf-aAzZH ... re=related A ride on the Nothwestern Pacific, ca. 1914: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw8FqbnF ... ure=relmfu Redwood special on the SP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh9nCFVU ... ure=relmfu Redwood logging and railroading in 1946: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MDgxNLD ... re=related New England logging, from before the railroads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIKCjQdx ... re=related Going a little more modern, at least for here--proper train loading and handling on the Santa Fe, except when it isn't. This also suggests an excuse to round up a car load of vintage TV sets to illustrate how the railroads did (and still) deliver these and other goods in our economy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlzTqPfHrAI Have fun. |

The intro for the TV one reminds me a bit of dragnet. "My name is Louis ... and I'm a switchman in the Los Angeles Yard." I loved the bit about how they were going to celebrate the arrival of their new TV. She baked a cake, made sandwiches and invited friends over! When's the last time you did that for your new flatscreen? Maybe at a Super Bowl party I guess... |

Flatscreen TV? Bah, I want one of these: http://www.predicta.com/index.shtml http://www.predicta.com/gallery.shtml Just the thing to go with EMD E-units, a Seaboard Sun Lounge, and a car with fins. . . |
