  • Another dip into the film vault, this time the results from several trips to British Columbia between 1969 and 1986. I did the best correction possible as most of the film was badly red shifted when the transfer was made in the mid 1990's. Sounds are from my video archives, generally at the same locations the film was taken on BCR when possible. All diesel sounds are correct for the type of unit shown.

    What an incredible record. You stirred many memories in me as I watched this. I was out there during most of the same time frame but just with a 35mm camera. You have created an incredible archive, thank you for sharing it.

    I personally prefer the two tone green PGE style BCOL livery, it just oozed distinction and heritage!

    Amazing video. Very nice detail matching the audio with the correct equipment! When I was little my family rode the Royal Hudson from North Van to Squamish as often as we could. I'd hang my head out the window the whole trip, just like the guy a 5:30! Love the footage, grateful you shared it!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Very well done compilation. Your added sound effects were spot on. Loved seeing the shiny RDC's as well as the quick glimpse of a steam locomotive. Although quite different the motorized M of W car scooting by at 14:14 brought back memories of the late Buster Keaton's 1965 movie The Railrodder also shot in Canada. Thanks for all your hard work.

      I'm grateful the effort I put into the soundtrack is appreciated. It takes a lot of listening to find just the right sounds to match the action. This one was pretty easy because I had video clips of the same power in the same locations for most of it.

    My grandfather worked as a conductor for the PGE. He ran out of the yard in North Vancouver as well as Williams Lake.

    Nice video! It's a shame that there is no regular year round passenger trains on the line anymore, from what I understand. I rode it once all the way from Price George to North Vancouver and it was a spectacular trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cool video! Found out recently that 2-tone green of BCR was from colors of Social Credit political party that ran the province of BC for years.

    • @fmnut
      @fmnut  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, one of the nicknames for it was the "SoCred" scheme. The light green is still the color used by the national party organization. When the BC SoCreds started using red and blue the railway adopted them for the the then-new Tumbler Ridge locomotives in 1984, and later for repainting the diesel fleet.

      The green came from the PGE after they dropped the orange, I never heard of anyone calling it the socred scheme until the red white and blue with bill Bennett's team appeared on license plates and bc ferries

    I work next to the rotting corpse of this once thriving railroad, lucky to see one train a week nowadays, pretty obvious that CN didn't want to run it.......just to kill it😢

    It's ironic that some of those Oneida and western EMDs came from upstate new York and the BCR MLW s would eventually go back to new York
