Nice work Hunter, I was on the first trip, "Kite Excursion". Also rode the Shay that day, cautioned "Do not stand behind the firebox door". This was just after I joined the BAERA and also my first trip onboard a Shay. Sorry to hear about the accident in 1977. You just keep digging out the gems!

The WRM is great! Took a fun excursion this Spring.
Liked the classic H2 Dash 9 leading! Those older videos about the late 90s-early 2000s are great. Not to mention those 3 rare SD59MXs! Greetings from Tennessee.
I visited there with rail fans back in 1989, LOL..thanks.

Didn't you create a long video featuring SP 4449? I can't remember if it was a collection of footage from the 1970s and 1990s or if it was about the World's Fair Daylight, but it included some similar-looking footage from Paul McClenahan and Fred Klyver's cameras.
Yes that material is being remastered with more footage that has surfaced to extend each trip as its own individual video topic
Why lol
Marcel was on 5 with the BNSF C44-9w leading
Amtrak really should tag onto Metra's MACH order...
would 2472 be steamed again.
Thanks so much for uploading this historical ATSF action in California.
What about WALDO ?
I love the blue bonnet emd's
That Alhmbra trestle & tunnel is impressive. Growing up in S.F. Valley we were well used to Santa Fe, but never saw this place. Drama.
Not much has changed. I worked for BNSF for 5 years in Richmond before moving to Stockton. Lots of memories.
this scene has changed so much today... I love seeing the first gen geeps still putting in the work, and even leading some cuts of container wells...
Thank you. Bring back MANY GOOD memories.
Left BNSF in 2022 after 17 years, dont miss the company but I do miss working this route.
Very cool! I used to fuel the BNSF locomotives at their Stockton yard.

Part 3 is available on UA-cam and was uploaded on November 4, 2023
Fantastic video 😎. And the audio and sound dub in was well choreograph and pretty darn close to realistic
Awesome resource for those of us who model this era of Santa Fe.
Great video! Gotta love the sound of those EMD's, as well as the bells at the road crossing's! Brings back lots of memories, especially at Stockton tower, where I spent quite a bit of time in the 80's and early 90's!
Thanks so much for creating and uploading this video.
I think this one is the best of the series, but that's likely due to me living along the BNSF Stockton sub, and I enjoy the trip back in time. The piano intro music, what is that? It's quite catchy... I like it!
Santa Fe Valley Division series are wonderful 😊!
Well, there's my favorite Amtrak unit - 353! Thank you for posting this! I always loved seeing and hearing 353 and 369 when they ran on San Joaquins. Minor correction - 353 had a P5 variant at this time, worn out from heat and exhaust due to its placement just behind the turbo hatch. After its late-1995 [final] rebuild, it initially had a K5LA that modulated pitch like a steam whistle. That horn was replaced sometime before summer of 1999, with what we hear in this video. There are also really clear recordings of it in "Sacramento Steam" and "Railfair '99."
Kodachrome was rolling back then. Too bad it's a failed merger.
Awesome video, new subscriber ! Greetings From Orange County California; - Larry
14:23 Private Cars were a thing back then?!!!!?!?
8:03 dying horn 😂
Where is Collier? I can't find it on a map. EDIT-would the west switch be at Palm between Willow and Sycamore? I railfanned there for a bit once because a wb was in the siding waiting for an eb, then went to the west portal of tunnel 3 and waited...and waited...and waited. After about two hours, with mother nature calling, I started heading back to my car. No sooner than I got out of sight of the portal (I really wanted a shot of a train emerging), one came.
Collier is between Gateley and Christie the video is in location order
Collier is about half a mile east of the I-80/Hwy 4 interchange in Hercules. The siding passes over Hwy 4 on a concrete bridge.
