1:55 "South San Francisco, The Industrial City".... Boy, did my mom hate that sign but as a little girl I loved it. From our house in San Bruno, in the brand new suburban neighborhood of Crestmoor Heights, we had a HUGE picture window from which we could see the big sign on the hillside. Being a little girl I loved anything I could read. She also complaned (rightfully) about the big dark brown streaks the airliners of the time left across our view. PLUS when I was 2 or so, the Navy was still flying supersonic planes off the coast and we'd get a sonic boom every few times a month. I loved those too, but the suburbanites back then, like my parents, moved from San Francisco to live way up in the hills simply to get away from the noises of the City... 2:48 The Balclutha!!! A Cape Horner! My mom never got a chance to go on the tour but she always wanted to because our Irish great-great grandma went around the Horn on a ship like that in 1867 to work in San Francisco. I, however, have been on the ship 5 times or so. 4:23 The Jesus on the dashboard really REALLY takes me back. Wow. Nearly every Christian family in my neighborhood in San Bruno who drove a station wagon had a plastic Jesus on the dashboard... th-cam.com/video/dG9tuuznL1Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tIq1GQBnGuZoq2UW&t=19 8:21 I always remember that Hills Brothers coffee sign. Too bad 8mm movie cameras couldn't film at night. I always remember the Panter's Peanuts neon sign with a big Mr Peanut and 6 (?) little Mr Peanuts alongside as you entered SF on 101. Also the Hamm's Beer sign with the big glass filling up with golden lights and then flipping to white at the top to show the head of foam....for a little kid those were so awesome!!! Union Square. Now is just full of empty buildings and police presence. Don't you love a one party liberal state, whose Chairman proudly states th-cam.com/video/55cG7EytB7M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mUfE7Vz8G-RGqPLz as well as "As California goes, so goes the nation". I have twiXed him so frequently as to why he simply hates the USA and, just like his misanthropic Auntie Nancy, just want to stomp Calunicornia into the ground, for some bizarre reason, as to who exactly made him feel like that!!??

Toll 75 cents. LOL.

Absolutely beautiful, I love it!!!

I was born in San Francisco in 1954. I recognized some things down the peninsula also. Thanks.

Sorry, music ruined it for me. Couldn't finish.

Coal Creek Canyon, NOT Eldorado Canyon.

Que feliz fui en San Francisco.!!

however your description is WRONG. there was NO trolley depicted. It is a CABLE CAR.

yup, that's the way it was. a civilized place to live, work or visit. right up to the early 70s. today's youngsters think these home movies were studio produced CGI videos. they think homeless bums and graffiti and filthy neighborhoods are normal. EVERYWHERE. Thank politicians and stupid people EVERYWHERE. Yesterday is gone FOREVER. Tomorrow we will wallow in crap. FOREVER. Great presentation and not too loud background score. A+!

Thank you for uploading this video! I was 15 years old in 1957 living in Wisconsin. After a family trip to San Francisco in 1958, I knew I wanted to come back and live here one day. I chose my 21st birthday in 1964 to move to San Francisco. It was great seeing in this video the Hills Bros coffee signage on top of a building which was then in an undeveloped South of Market area. Also, seeing the old Cliff House was a real treat, I have a terrible sense of directions, but I found San Francisco one of the easiest cities to find one's way around. Now in my senior years, I can sit back and remember all of the wonderful memories I have of earlier an earlier San Francisco. Politics and developers have ruined much of what was a wonderful and magical city, When Tony Bennett would sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", the song captured the romance and uniqueness of a city that ,sadly, is no more.

Looks like a good time back then.

Tolland and Rollins Pass were on the Denver Northwestern and Pacific Railroad, DNW&P (Moffat Road), later the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad (D&SL), NOT the Denver and Rio Grande Western (DRGW). The DRGW did not acquire the DNW&P/D&SL until 1947.

Well done! Loved your other videos about Gilpin, Rollinsville and Moffit areas.

In 1968 I drove my 65 Cadillac sedan on the Moffat over Rollins Pass east to west. It was VERY exciting, however the Road did a number on the Caddy as the exhaust system finished the ride in the trunk - and boy it was easy to hear us after that LOL.

It's confusing but to get to the tunnel you start in Coal Creek canyon and when you get to Wondervu your on a pass between Coal Creek and South Boulder Creek canyon which can be called Eldorado, at least further down. South Boulder creek goes into Gross Reservoir and has water that is diverted from the western slope through a water tunnel that's alongside the train tunnel.

Really enjoyed this. Very well done and informative. Thank you!

Thank you for the interesting information about this area 👍

Did vehicles used to drive over the Devil's Slide Trestles (pic in thumbnail)? What's it's condition now?

My uncle was from Sedalia. he went to school in a dirt floor schoolhouse.

If Coal Creek Canyon not

It's Coal Creek Canyon, not Eldorado
