  How could we have known in 1985 or 1990 that these scenes would be gone forever?  I thought SP was as much a part of the landscape as the trees.

  Took me back to my hire date in 1967 with the SP out of SF as a brakeman.  Couldn't put it down or stop the film because I lived it all, even the NWP.  From Newhall Tower to SLO, and all around the bay ....the TBX, the CLM, Starpacer, Roseville, Oakland.... donner, cuesta...bakersfield...Thank you so much.....want to go back again for a few more trips......

  Wow! This is what my grandpa experienced! But unfortunately, he died in 1999, 2 years before I was born in 2002. RIP

  How can any SP fan or simply a fan of vintage railroad footage thumb down this video and if you&apos;re not an SP fan or fan of vintage railroad footage what the hell are you even doing here?

  Nothing screams SP like the full light package and 4 or 5 mid-train helpers.

  Thank you so much for this great video. Being born and living in San Francisco to this day, I miss the SP big time. My dad would take my brother and I down to mission bay and watch the trains. Commutes over at Fourth and Townsend st. I remember SP 3209 had one of the nicest horns on it. Boy o boy the good old days indeed. One more thing, it is just wonderful to see a freight train with no God Damn Graffiti &nbsp;on it. Watching a train go by today is really something else with almost every car tagged up. Thanks again for a nice walk down memory lane. Bless You.
