SOUTHERN PACIFIC PICTORIAL

Enjoy great action on the Southern Pacific system with a variety of trains and places. There is heavy action on Cajon Pass and Tehachapi Loop, some scenes on Donner Pass in California, plus a few other places are sampled. Scenes were shot between 1989 and 1994, and there are two visits to Tehachapi where we see old power and new power 5 years later.

The famous Tehachapi loop is seen as well as Cajon Pass, the gateway to Los Angeles. We'll witness the "Oil Can Train" a monstrous oil train from Bakersfield that assaults Tehachapi with 10 diesels including mid-train helpers.  What a sight at Caliente and the loop!  You'll sample freight on Donner Pass in the Sierras, and see some SP on the former Rio Grande in Utah. There are pushers and mid-train helpers throughout the program. It's a nice way to remember the "Good old Days" of Southern Pacific, before the BNSF merger.

The DVD has some additional scenes that were shot in 1995, along the Shasta route, and includes some scenes with Mt. Shasta in the background. There are also a few other scenes in the region including near Klamath Falls, and more.

Total DVD 70 minutes $29.95
