I grew up in northern California and Reno. This brings so many memories back, of being a teenager in the 90's and train watching almost everyday on the SP. I sure miss it. Always something different and unique to see back then.
Ah-ha! I spy a Chicago Northwestern and a Soo engine-which brings fond memories of midwestern childhood(GN, NP, BN, OR, DWP, DMIR, SOO, MR, CNW, etc). Your videos are very enjoyable and informative; thank you!! Totally captivated by the Sacramento Northern story and your related video. Cheers.
You know that feeling when you hear a song you haven’t heard in over a decade and you get a flood of memories? That hit me at the 1:57 mark. Forgot all about that sound and never even realized today’s locomotives don’t sound like that anymore. Used to hear those engines when I lived in Nevada.
5:41 The narration is incorrect as Caltrain is the commuter service that runs from San Francisco to San Jose, not even serving Sacramento: it's an Amtrak California Capitol Corridor train that is seen crossing the Sacramento River bridge.

As a recent Roseville railfanner, I enjoyed this video very much.

Thanks for posting Charles. I always enjoy seeing first generation power. Especially the high hoods!
Superb photography, again, done by someone who really knew what he was doing. Thank you, again.
Thanks, we appreciate it we were trying to shoot it with good equipment and make it right!
Another interesting and informative video.
11:35 A consist made entirely of foreign roads. Man, the 90s were something else.
All the trains that passed Roseville in this video I grew up seeing go by
Savour the fine memories.
@@EllieMaes-Grandad Those were the days for sure! What a great era for SP train watching!
I miss the sound of that Roots blower, nothing quite like it 👍

It would be awesome to see a video of the locomotive re-manufacturing process of the EMD locomotives at Sacramento - if such a video(s) exist.
Hard to find alot of that footage, but we do have a nice segment in our "SP Vintage West" DVD D-125
I wish the sp and sf would of merged
