THX for posting this vid it brings back my childhood. Many a day I spent at the Industry yard since growing up in nearby La Puente I was able to ride my bike with my Polaroid camera a sack lunch and a love for trains to see the Santa Fe about 5 miles to the north and S.P. and U.P. pretty much running parallel about a 1/2 mile apart from Sunset/7th Ave into Pomona.
Oh to be young again.
Yes, I have a SD39 in HO scale and DCC/Sound with ditch lights on both front and rear. The older ones on this video rocks!!!!
Thanks for the comment.
Nice video! I love the part where you filmed in City of Industry yard and Nogales Street. It’s quite a shame that grade crossing isn’t there anymore. I will always miss those old sp emd locomotives.
Thank You! The high-hood 567's seemed to be in their element in this yard. I didn't know about Nogales St. xing; I haven't been in the area in years. Thanks for the comment.
It is now covered by a bridge, so is Fullerton Road North to Railroad Avenue, times have changed for my hometown of Rowland Heights. I love it here.
Miss that crossing today. Great to see them again in your video. Great shots! Gone but not forgotten.
Thanks for the comments and sub. I wish I could re-load this one and keep the view count; TH-cam's conversion didn't go very smoothly.
Holy cow...far too many cool things were captured in this video to point out one by one, but HOLY COW! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos very soon. Thanks for posting this great old stuff and for taking watchable videos 30+ yrs ago!
When Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and cabooses were still of use
Yep... way back when. Thanks for the comment.
VERY interesting. A great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank You for the comment.
SP was really on a four-motor tear back then. They could get away with that on the Sunset Route.
Unlike northern California, where I don't remember seeing any 4 axle diesels except for GP9's or switchers.
An off topic comment, perhaps, but I remember how bad the smog was then. I'm glad it has improved somewhat.
Some of my Southern California videos of that era show how bad the photo-chemical smog could get back then. This one and the one titled "ATSF & Amtrak at Norwalk 1986" are good examples. The "Norwalk" one took some heavy-handed proc-amp to get an acceptable image. Thanks for the comment.
The troglodytes that we were, we called them "Soylent Green" days.

Thanks...
You are welcome.
DPU Alright!!!
It's nice to see back then that we didn't have to look at all that nasty graffiti ugh!!
