Part 3 of a 4 part series. A compendium of shortline, industrial and interurban freight traction in the western US from the 1930's to 2000. Sounds added when required from my video library.
Another great compilation! I was surprised by the clarity of the Texas Transportation line so checked up to see that it operated until around 2000. Pity I did not know about it as I would have tried to get there on one of my US trips - too late now unfortunately. Pity it had to close but I guess when the work dried up its purpose no longer existed.
@@theanimerailfanthehagersto1280 I have no idea, having never seen these, but the creator of the video, Richard Frey, should be able if you leave a message on his TH-cam site.
The Pearl Brewery building in San Antonio has been repurposed and gentrified. But some of the old tracks are still there. These were some great memories of yesteryear. Thanks for curating, editing and sharing them with us. I noted the "sidewinder" trolleys on some of the mine locos.
AMAZING footage, Rich! Especially love the stuff at the copper mine.

What are the class of electrics and what whistle did they use and do any of the electrics still exist?

Thank you for sharing the railroading years past with us, before the major mergers. It brings back memories! Your clips remind me of Grayson Meints.
Graydon Meints! ..... darn spell correction!!!!
I missed out seeing the electric motor cars just north of Buffalo, NY. Great to see some video of these locomotives in action. Thank you.
This is great stuff......so much historical significance here👍
Marvelous video. Brings back some good memories of the Sacramento Northern. Sadly it's last year's was finished with diesels.
FWIW, Sacramento Northern 652 & 654 are at the Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista Junction (Suis in City), CA.
654 still runs.
Brilliant clips, thank you
Thanks for watching
I love all these motors cars! Probably saved some money for switching rather than diesel or steam switchers.
I would say this is in San Antonio, Pearl Brewery or Lonestar Brewery, it's been over 30 years since I visited.
Awesome
Super
Thanks for sharing!!!!!
We have gone backwards. All the modern day greenies have no idea
Wow, those old electros in Texas looked fine! I'm assuming the TTC was somewhere in the Houston area?
Pearl Brewery, San Antonio.
@@fmnut Oh, neat! I don't recall any railroads big or small serving breweries nowadays, so that must've been a sight to see.

Do you by chance have any idea what years the recordings at Kennecott Copper Mine were taken? Awesome video.
Stay well. -Wil 👍
According to the info I got with the films, 1973. Thanks for watching.
@@fmnut Thank you. Also thank you for putting these videos up for everyone to enjoy. 👍
Graydon Meints. Sorry, spell correct.
