Do you want to live in 1940s???
Yes
In a heartbeat but would want my whole family with me. Certainly some bad things about the 1940's but a lot of good too. Being able to visit or vacation in the 1940's would be most ideal.
Yes?
@@russellsacks3854 oh you'd get your vacation alright. To Normandy. Free of charge lol
If I had a choice between living in 1940's Germany (40-45) in a continuous loop or living out the rest of my days (I'm 28) here in Salt Lake City now...I'd choose 1940's Germany in a heartbeat. We live in a sick, twisted fucking world and having spent years studying the madness of 2nd World War, I'd rather be _THERE._ Better to live among people you recognize and trust in a slowing game of musical chairs than alongside strangers and lunatics, among whom you have no chair, no voice, no love. We're in Hell.
At the opening of the video, you are looking northbound on Washington Blvd from 26th Street in downtown Ogden UT. Street view on goggle maps is very interesting to see which buildings still survive. First three cuts are in Ogden, a major railroad town.
Yep it's crazy, I live nearby there and it surreal how many original buildings still there. You stand in front of the union station and it's almost all the same. They have pictures from the union station looking down 24th Street.
Shocking. I live on 26th street
Smogtown
@@madmechanic7976 that’s Salt Lake, the inversion doesn’t affect Ogden
@@madmechanic7976 the state of utah is smogsville lol. That’s what we get for being surrounded by mountains. We take the brunt of the whole countries air pollution for 1/3 of the year
It annoys me to see how much has been lost. The dense, walkable cities that made America great are gone. The narrow streets and cozy neighborhoods are gone. The streetcars are gone. The vast electric railroad networks are gone. The high-quality passenger rail is gone. What the hell happened?
Automotive lobby and restrictive zoning happened. Thankfully it’s reversible and is starting to happen
It got denser and more narrow. Instead of putting people in asylums we let them wander the streets. Slc still has trams . The front runner is a multi billion dollar state wide rail. The answer is there are no good answers. The trams make traffic slower, because people have cars and jobs and lives and don’t live on the street… you can just drug people up against their will because they’re weird to you( nor can you just continuously displace people you don’t agree with see example : native Americans) .
I think the question you want to ask, but are to closeted to. Is why can’t America be white again?
@@utah710 Honest question: How does America having more white people improve anybody's lives?
Thank you for sharing these videos with us. For me, born in 1992, it is quite hard to get an idea of how the world looked like in the early 1900s. Your remastered clips make it possible for me to get in touch with a time, I'm really interested in. I'm so in love with the style's of north america of the past century.
thank you very much
study your history and you will see.
find old timers and get to know them. they will tell you!
I’m glad you have an interest in your history and heritage. Too many people don’t.
Look at the older buildings in the old parts of town. You'll get an idea.
Well said
Awesome to see a Utah clips after all these years. Now that I am in my mid 40’s and have seen much of what Utah has to offer throughout my life living here. And have talked with my 93 year old Grandmother on many occasions about her life here when younger also (she lived and grew up from her teen years on in Ogden), it is awesome to see even a few clips from Ogden from back in that period. Thank you for this Utah clip. And if you ever have anymore of Utah, it would be great to see them soon. To share with my Grandmother while we still have her here. 🙂🙂🙂
Show her the footage!
I work at Kennecott, and it's amazing to see the contrast of the mine back then it is now.
My grandfather worked at the mine back in that day ... 1950's - 1980 ish
I knew the man and his wife that were the very last residents of Lark, the town now buried by the tailings. They moved to central Utah after they left Lark and were our neighbors for many years. He was one of the train operators/engineers at the mine.
Is Copperton still isolated from the rest of the valley? It was when I went to school at the old Bingham High in the 90s.
@Rum Ham There has been a lot of recent development on the west side of the valley, and for the most part, Copperton is still isolated but is quickly getting less secluded. For example, Amazon built a warehouse on Bacchus between New and Old Bingham highway.
The first 15 seconds are downtown Ogden, Utah...a number of those buildings are still there.
At 12 seconds it is definitely center st. in Provo.
Back when Utah was it's best version, overflowing with Mormons. Forget what you think of the teachings, Mormons are wonderful people. I'm not even one, but damn they are awesome.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks! We're still about 61% of the population of the state.
Ogden, temple square, Kennecott copper mine, I think that's the Heeber Creeper train featured around the 5 minute mark .. and then some beautiful shots of arches NP and what look like are hoodoos of goblin valley. I wish there were footage of the Great Saltaire in it's prime, that would have been a site to see 🙂. Thank you for this upload!
I didn’t know there was even footage available of Utah back then. God I love seeing and learning more about what my home used to be like.

Unsharable and unlikable , with all these shameless lazy sloppy ugly shaky black bars, as always. Gotta do better than that, showing basic respect to your viewers and upholding most basic visual standards. No good.
Can you try to do one from the Carolinas? I grew up in NC, and I'd love to see the state from the time of my grandparents' childhood. Surely someone filmed downtown Raleigh or Charlotte.
I’ll like but I wont share
Удивительно по природе красотища архитектурно-скульптурные места. Интересно, сохранились ли сейчас, эти ансамбли природы? Спасибо 🙏 автору видео тех времён (1940 г.), за прекрасные кадры ( в том числе нынешнему автору). Через них мы видим историю. 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇸
Yes the beauty of Arches National Park which you are referring to still survives. I visited there some years back. Awesome place.
The author should learn basic cropping and stabilizing techniques, and then we will thank him. So far, it's a mockery. No good.
It’s still here, don’t you worry 👌🏼
GOOGLE TRANSLATOR:
Surprisingly by nature, the beauty of architectural and sculptural places. I wonder if these ensembles of nature have survived now? Thanks 🙏 to the author of the video of those times (1940), for the wonderful shots (including the current author). We see history through them.
Another great job. These videos are amazing!
thanks
Beautiful work. Thank you very much.
Absolutely love what you show, sometimes I would wonder what it was like too live back then. Wish I had a time machine and go back in time
Who knew the colors were so muted back then! Glad we've come so far in eye ball technology!
(This is an awesome video, nice job!)
YEP, but not even close to the right car manufacturing colors.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar I was looking for the 3 cars in the thumbnail. Turns out purple drab was the most popular car color back then, almost like silver is today.
The color rendering did a pretty good job on horses, the blue sky with white clouds and desert rocks.
wow these are so cool! when doing these, is there a way to tell which colors to use when colorizing them, or do you just kind of color them in the way that makes most sense to you? thank you for sharing this video!
I’m from here:) I drive past some of those places on a weekly basis. Very neat to see this!
The second shot is downtown Ogden with Ben Lomond Mtn in the background. That building with the tall sign on top is still there.
Wow this is awesome! This is one of the best ever!
I'm from the UK but love these old videos im 32 leve the era of all this stuff inwish I could see Glasgow in its heyday
I'm intrigued by how many cool things lived their useful purpose and were removed all together.
Saltair with an over water train.
An entire city in Bingham Canyon with a funicular and train.
All that steel work at the train station with huge steam engines and smokestacks.
Also things that seem so much better like traveling the national parks on horseback with no asphalt roads and parking lots.
Sehr interessant - Very interesting! 👍
One thing's for sure: people were much thiner back then.
May I know is this post World War 2 or Pre ?
Thank you for posting the colour version of this beautiful Times.
thank you very much
@@NASS_0 Kindly answer my Query
@@Fan-zx1lz i think post ww2
@@Fan-zx1lz this is way pre ww2. This is in the 1930s.
@@Fan-zx1lz good on you for demanding answers,... it's strange how the channel that posts these videos seems to know so little about the original footage
The not so "pony expess" in that first shot, but surprising it was still delivered that way at such a late date. The Great Salt Lake was still full! Glorious days. Thanks NASS for the nice color.
thank you very much
the u.s. postal department lasted until 1971. afterwards it became the USPS. POSTAGE WAS 3c from 1932 to 1958. 2c for local mail.
@TRUCKDR1V3R ? Are you talking about during this time when white people dropped bombs to exterminate japan? How about the lynching of blacks just two states over? Equality? Korean war? You kidding me? These were the atrocities that people lived through back then.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 if you look for the bad in things, you will never be disappointed.
Sign: "No Parking." Car immediately parks there.
So cool to see my home back then, thank you
thank you very much
Fantastic video when muted
That’s the way it was in years just before I was born. Life was simpler then. People didn’t live as long on average. I had a good childhood. 1949 was a good time to be born.
Wish whoever put this video together that they had placed titles of the town and locations haha. Would be cool to know where some of the places were
It is so nice to see how the world looked back then the architecture the way people looked. Fast forward to today and you have square buildings and Walmart zombies.
I like the purple paint jobs they had back then. And you all thought Chrylers 1970s Plum Purple paint was the first to do this.
🫵🤣
I call this hippie purple.
crazy how in just over 20 years japans high speed bullet trains would put these steam trains to shame
as a life long utah native, it hurts my heart to see all the development and environmental destruction. i know the march of progress is inevitable, but sometimes it feels more like a wreckless stampede
There was some film footage of what looked exactly like Bisbee AZ!!! I know that town well too.
Purple must've been popular in those days
I live in Wyoming. SLC has grown so big that I try not to go there unless it's absolutely necessary.
sounds are a bit distracting but otherwise very cool video! music is usually better than fake sound fx for stuff like this.
Anyone know where and what is the town at :47?
North Utah was a lot greener then it is now
seems like the city neighborhoods have much heavier tree coverage now than they did back then.
Woman looked like woman and men looked like men.
Where did you get this footage? Who shot it and for what reason? Does anyone know where that incline railway was?
In the Bingham Canyon mine. I believe it's primary purpose was to access an office building at the top of the incline.
This was less than a century go to think …
Good to see Bingham Canyon since the city was covered over by the mine by the time I was a born.
Considering car traffic, it looks more like a late 30s.
Can you post more from Utah?
Back when the Great Salt Lake still had a lot of water in it. Nice find!
thank you very much
The Great Salt Lake fluctuates a lot, but not on an annual basis. More like each decade. It was very low in the mid-1960s to the point that people were afraid it was going to dry up. By the mid 1980s it was so full that it was beginning to come up over Interstate 15 and the state of Utah installed huge pumps to pump excess water out into the West desert to evaporate. We’ve had several dry years and it’s low again but it will swing back the other way.
@@briansmith8730 I hope so, sad if not.
@@WinterReflections it’s a matter of historical record.
@@briansmith8730 No it won't.
I have literally been wanting to see a Utah one on your channel for years! THANK YOU! 🥰 I have lived in SLC for a few years now and am intrigued by the history. I literally kept running into another room to tell my husband everything popping up. Saltair, the Kennecott Mine, southern Utah. Thank you for keeping history alive with your work! You are one of my favorite channels on the entire platform ❤️
thank you very much, it made me really happy to read your comment 🙏
@@NASS_0 Another Utahn here. I definitely feel the same. I grew up in Ogden, lived in Moab, bought our first house by the capital, have gone to many concerts at the Salt Air resort (no longer a resort, just a music venue), etc etc. Seeing Utah as my grandparents would have was overwhelming and beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
I live in west valley city and this looks awesome.
Love the mailman on the horse! Great footage! Thanks!
I think Virgina City, NV as early as filming was there would be fascinating!
Thanks
It’s weird seeing the Bingham Canyon copper mine (now the largest open pit mine in the world) so shallow. And how 80 years later, being a native Utahn, I can recognize half the streets even today. Everything’s changed, yet it’s still the same. So cool! The spirit and mystique of the West is still here, and that’s why I love it.
My grandfather worked at the mine for 40 years. I got to go up there several times as a kid and check it out. It's such a dramatic view looking down from the top. The dump trucks are so hilariously massive too. The tires are like the size of houses lol.
The more things change the more they stay the same has always been one of my favorite quotes. Along with nothing new under the sun or what goes around comes around. We're trapped on the matrix loop repeating history except with a twist each time.
I moved to Utah 8 months ago and I live right below the copper mine. I want to tour it someday. The great Salt Lake looks so pretty back then and they used to travel accross the lake on a track? So cool!
All my Brother and Sisters were Born in Bingham City. Dad worked as a Train engineer for the mine
The KENNECOT COPPER MINE.
Clean, calm beautiful cities back then.
I wonder why they changed. 🧐
Demographics
@@user-uw6rr5mv9h you spelt Democrats wrong
SLC is still pretty clean isn't it?
Keep telling yourself that. Nothing has really changed
I was born here back in the mid fifties, so it's nice to see the things I remember as a kid. Bingham Canyon was always interesting with the super narrow streets and that Postman was not to be trifled with he was packing heat.
Oh please bring me back the America I once knew....
Wow. I was born and raised in UT. I am an Ogden native, paramedic firefighter for SLC and an Edward Abbey enthusiast regarding Arches. I sure wish I could have lived in this time but this is obviously the next best thing. Thank you so much.
Lot of pressing social issues during this time that would not be fun to relive for most people
@@spicewitch9115 Its the architecture and designs of things I think. Nowadays Streets and parking lots take up a third of our city. Buildings are just boxes with no real character.
What's interesting about all these videos from before the 1960's. No one is fat.
Другая эпоха, другая жизнь, другие люди . Жизнь была очень интересной! Сейчас все засрали
I'm from Poland but I love watching yours films because I'm a fan of American cinema of 30s, 40s and 50s, I love the atmophere, fashion and how America looks like then. Also I appreciate your hard work. Tkank you for all you do❤
thank you very much ;)
I’m an American and I wish my country hadn’t changed in many ways. I fear that one day it will become unrecognizable. That day is fast approaching.
Come for a visit. Lots of small American towns have similar atmosphere as this!
@@magicalfetus729 That’s true. If you want to get a feel of more traditional America visit the small towns.
@@tobystamps2920i don’t get how ppl are this…weird if u will, y do y’all like staying in the past (thts WAY more terrible then now could ever b)
To me, being from NJ, this is like looking at another planet. And it makes me want to go there. Fabulous job, as always1
thank you very much
Born and raised in NJ and moved to Utah 5 years ago and it still amazes me!
Cranford NJ?
They build all of that from nothing in the middle of a desert amazing!!!
Note at 2:00 the Tabernacle has writing on the roof and an arrow pointing. It was actually for pilots telling them to go west to the airport!
Take me back to these days 😣 I love the vehicles and the Neon look.. everything looked so clean
Yet until the 1970s, the air and water were filthy in most U.S. cities, and littering was just the norm. Roadsides were dumping grounds and most people didn't really care. But starting in the 1970s, air and water began to be cleaned up, and littering became unacceptable (it's still really bad today, though).
Also unleaded fuel lmao
Same... times were simpler back then. Didn't have to worry about the Communist take over of today.
@@ldsgermanshepherdboy9272 communism was no joke, japan and china used to behead priests who came over from America, or find a way to arrest them, or anyone from american with military affiliation. There IS a reason why we treated other groups harshly depending on how sarcastic you are being currently.
@Art Deco city Architecture oh I'm not being sarcastic. I'm sternly Anticommunist. I believe that Communism was just as bad back then as it is today. But I was more so meaning that we didn't worry as much back then about Communists taking control of our country as we do today.
So beautiful back then. Wish it never changed !
thank you very much
This is basically Utah back when we had that Western mystique and hope for the future. We and the other Western states don’t really have any mystique anymore but I think there’s lots of reasons for Utah to still be hopeful for the future
I’m so glad there’s someone like you who keep history alive in the way you do it. Thank you for all you do. It means so much. !!!!!!!
thank you very much
@@NASS_0 seeing this video makes me so mad, mainly cus we removed all of this stuff. Like why it looked so cool back then
I've lived here all my life. Oh how different it is even from my childhood. Cool to see how it was when my mother was young.
It's interesting to see when video cameras were focused on the point of interest and not the face of the person filming while they describe what they are seeing.
no selfies everywhere so the scenery is blurred by a thousand shots of the phone owner! LOL!
It’s funny how people reminisce, remembering the good, forgetting the bad. I do the same. Still enjoyable seeing old movies, simpler times, old cars and other long forgotten transportation devices, architecture, fashion etc... Nice restoration as usual.👍👍👍
thank you very much
I fully agree. I do by myself but I try to be aware that people in these pictures were having troubles and problems as well. Many of these problems seem like peanuts for us today but they really weren't back then.
there was less bad, and more good for most people at that time.
@@suppylarue220 yeah sure... WWII and the war crimes, holocaust, segregation and racism in the US , etc so good
@@zhiro_3 that's why I said, for MOST people.
This is truly amazing, your work is fantastic. I am a born(SLC, 1987) and raised in South Ogden, Utahan. My older family has always talked about the "Great days" of old Utah, including Ogden. Never seen any of them in this detail before. Makes me nostalgic for a period I was never born in.
saw
That seems to be from the early 40s, or even late 30s. Two pretty ladies on vacation. Would be interesting to know who they are. Certainly no poor people.
That's so awsome!! I'm from Ogden Ut, that was cool seeing Washington Blvd!
Really interesting seeing a place so familiar to me so far in the past. Sadly you can see the limitations of the AI when it gets to Arches, and the beautiful color just looks so washed out.
I don't think historicity was the point of vulgar colorization and sound effects. (Think: vanity).
I moved here in 2013, and I've always wondered how the history of this place looked. Thank you for sharing.
thank you very much
So cool how instantly recognizable Washington Boulevard and Ben Lomond peak are. My 5th Great grandmother, Mary Wilson Montgomery, named it after Ben Lomond peak in her native Scotland.
Nice video! But the color of the rocks are way off though. look at the first few scenes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
日本が戦争やっても勝てなかった理由が良くわかる。全然発展のレベルが違っていたんだなぁ😮
Utah was considered one the more "lackluster and undeveloped" parts of America just to put that into perspective.
I love this era. Just started watching 1923 Yellow Stone. Im like yes!!! I love 1920s -1940s. Love the cars and clothes/style.
Location shown beginning at 5:13 is called "Castle Gate" and is located just north of Price, Utah (Helper).
The section with the two steam engines in the mountains is on Tennessee Pass in Colorado. (Denver & Rio Grande Western RR.). There is aColorado River shot and then a canyon shot that is Glenwood Canyon, also Colorado. The"new" bungalow houses are in Copperton, Utah. Kennecott built the company housing when they began to remove all the small communities up Bingham Canyon and other side canyons. Copperton still exists today, but the mine is no longer accessible from Copperton.
NEWEST CARS SEEN, THIS FILM, 1937 FORD, CHRYSLER !
I thought it was about then. Definitely not the 1940's in any form.
Not a single obese person. Was before the low-fat high carb /sugar dogma.
As a Utahn from St.G, this footage is cool, but I'd be way more stoked if I saw towns like Ivins, Gunlock or St. George itself presented in color from the 40s.
Anyone have a link for footage?!
I lived in this area for the last 30 years, I would also be stoked with footage from Santa Clara, Hurricane and the area around Gunlock, Cedar City, and our National Parks such as Zion and Bryce.
7:35 That's the place they filmed the opening for _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,_ right?
I've been told that salt lake city is a very clean city.
It is, well compared to most big cities.
The copper mine is much larger today and you can see the trains from outside the mine, on many levels going around the mine day and night, very cool to compare it to 1940s and 2022. The city of Salt Lake is very cool place today so much of the city is brand new from only the last few years, new bridges, highways, so many new buildings and shopping places very very fast growing city, highly recommend to visit the city so much history. I was thinking of moving to live in Salt Lake city but that did not work out.
At 4:56, I'm pretty sure that's my grandmother and her sister. Fascinating video, btw! The sound design with the restoration is incredibly effective. Thank you.
That clip at the end, I believe it's double arch. I've never seen it without at least 50 people sitting under it. Awesome video!
The one thing I can't help but notice is how many smiles are on people's faces. You sure don't see that anymore.
Wow, the "AI" upscaling is utterly horrible, like a 90s sharpening filter. Where does this weird trend come from that people somehow believe their "AI" can do better than good old bicubic? Oh, surely we can pull off some CSI "enhance" crap by simply guessing a few pixel values - or it ends up looking like the worst cheap phone camera's digital zoom.
What you did to this film is amazing. I loved everything about it. I thought the sound was incredible. Almost forgot it wasnt part of the original film.
As always.....thank you for your efforts and sharing your mastery of this medium with us.
You never disappoint. 🥰🥰🥰
thank you very much ;)
Cities didn’t sound like they were highway metropolis’s back then, wasn’t a thing. Tbh I thought the sound design was completely horrible.
I’ve lived in utah my whole life, and I’ve never seen such a beautiful place… in the 40’s I mean. The way it is now, isn’t great. :/ good job utah
Thinking the same thing. I wish people appreciated the history of everything. Now, Utah is just a giant highway with loads of billboards and suburbs.
@@rygarisfun8164 Los Angeles COUNTY has a population of 10,000,000 people. Now think of that infrastructure...highways, suburbs, cities, billboards, etc that support a COUNTY that has over three times your states population. Sometimes it's best to just sit back and think that it could be a LOT worse.
Looks so walkable and full of life. And I know there’s cars here, but the streets were still for the people. The automobile has destroyed everything, and is continuing to do so. Our pockets, the same highways that are designed to keep them running, and the way people interact with each other.
Nicely done. Your video opens with the first 30 seconds or so in Ogden....followed by Park City?
Nass, Another AMAZING job! Thank you for your tireless work in bringing us these priceless videos! 4:44 COOL shot but POLLUTION CITY! LOL.

Shouldn't every guy in this video have 3 or 4 wives a piece? This is Utah after all.
things were so much more simple and peaceful back then, and less diversity.
