Beautiful

Did anybody die?

OWR&N stands for Oregon-Washington Railway and Navigation, a subsidiary of Union Pacific that operated west of Idaho to Portland and Spokane. This particular line goes from Moscow-Pullman to Colfax and onto the Spokane-Portland mainline at Hooper on the Palouse River.

I wasn't aware of this one and I was raised in a U.P. family. I hope the number of deaths and injuries was low, though even one is too many. This happened 3 years before I was born! Thank you for posting

Awesome video. Thanks 👍

August 1945

Pity we have no details of what happened - looks like a derailment on the curve or the level crossing. Incidentally, the OWR&N was used in an early 1930s adventure film named 'Westbound Limited' - worth catching if you can for the steam train footage

Yes I also agree with you about Las Vegas. Now it's Lost Vegas.😅 All the Cool Vintage Casinos are now Gone. The Tropicana in Oct of 2024. I watched it on UTUBE OCT 8, 9TH. So Sad, Even the Outside Volcano at the Mirage is gone now. That opened in the 1990s I think, this Casino is something else now..I like watching Documentaries of Vintage Las Vegas, on PBS and other Shows.😮😢😢

How quaint lol 2:27 but hey Dean Martin at the the Riviera - is it too late to get tickets?! 😅😂

I passed through in 1968. Your video reminds me of the Vegas that I loved. I only took a few photos. thanks and thumbs up.

Circus Circus was only 9 months old.

Not a word about Red Rock Canyon… 15 minutes away! 😏

Cool film, thanks for posting it 👍. Doing the same thing road trippin' in my '58 VW bus 🚌 keeping the tradition going, both on road and off road. Neet to see the same places so many decades later.

Wow, I had forgotten how small the casinos were back then. The signs were bigger than the buildings. I stayed at Caesar's Palace the first year it opened (1964, I think) and they used to have guest rooms in those two front wings on either side of the main entrance. The Flamingo was right across the street and still had its pink neon bubble tower sign that cast images of those bubbles thru the window of my room all night long. And the old Landmark Hotel looked so lonely over there by the "saucer" section of the old convention center. But thanks for the memories. I'm sure if I dig deep enough, I must have some 8mm footage like that laying around somewhere.

You couldn't clean the lens on your digitizer?

never heard of The Jail

At approx. :32, the slide is reversed.

My family stayed at the Flamingo in 1969. Sonny and Cher were supposed to play there, but the show was cancelled because one of them were sick. Also, We met Tom Jones’s manager.

I wonder how much action these young people got. Pick ups at the pool or lounge.

Great view into 1960’s America. Thanks for posting!

Mr Fremont would vomit if he could see his street today.

We need a tme machine

Uncluttered. New. Clean. Beautiful. Safe. THIS.....was the time to live in Vegas. My family would arrive in '64. just a couple years after this.

How Vegas has changed. I sure rather have those days then todays Vegas.

When the mobs ruled las vegas 😅😂

BACK WHEN IT WAS AN ADULT PLAYGROUND ! NOW IT'S AS BAD AS DISNEYLAND ! WHAT A MESS !

From this to a Modern Day 💩 hole.

I bet Wilbur's wife picked his secretary

Now this city is a cesspool

As a teen, my family around 1971 drove the Las Vegas strip. Seemed like all the hotels had a golf course. I guess water wasn't a shortage then.

No mention of gambling?! 😅 But this was really well done to create interest!

I would go if it was still like this. I have no desire to go today.

What a wonderful trip back in time!!! Great promotional movie!

they forgot to mention the legal prostitution

This is old timey

Possibly Rhyolite, NV or Goldfield, NV. Do you know where this is?

Unreal footage. I’m going to share on my page. Thanks for posting.

My mom loved the Desert Inn. She use to drive or take the train to Las Vegas. She used to run the blood drives up at Nellis Air Force Base for the Red Cross back in the 1950s. She was the head of Red Cross in Southern California back then. What a great historic video. It’s interesting to know that the lake is very low and 1955 as well.

Today it’s packed with overweight diabetics dressed in their finest pajamas and aren’t so presumptuous as to actually bathe

NUKE EXPLOSIONS: You could literally lay at the pool in the evening and watch nuclear bombs go off out at the test sight in the desert North East of Vegas

I love hearing McCarren! Not barfreid!

Hoffa deep sixed for not wanting to give out with more to mob for this😺

Pete graves VO?

Love the ladies in heels and fancy dresses hiking the desert😂

Now it hits 120 degrees in the summer!

Legend has it that the golf cart is still seen crusing around down by the Club.

Old Las Vegas was much nicer and exciting than today's version

The good old days in Vegas were great if you were White!

Back when Las Vegas was fun And cheap. Bring back the mob! The food was better and beers weren’t $10 dollars!

Just looked into the prices of the homes still on the pricy side for the side of town and schools ratings but they are quite charming and full of character that's for sure.
