I hate that i missed the good ole days of the red and silver war bonnets, silver light weight passenger coaches, i was born in 1979, i missed it all, the SP, UP, MP, AT&SF EMD, ALCO'S yeah i know there's a few on display here and there, but not like they were in revenue service. I've bought up every one i could find n scale/g scale I've got a lot of old photographs and i ordered # boards and put them on display with the photos behind them, that's okay but, that's not like seeing it in person, great video.

You may be thinking of cinders as a byproduct of fireboxes, which are a combination of carbon and silica. The volcanic cinders here are pieces of basalt and andesitic rock that are very porous and the result of hot gases mixed in molten rock ejected from a volcano, somewhat glasslike and quite durable.
God, I love this old stuff. A bit before my time but being raised in California I have always been a fan of AT&SF and Southern Pacific.
You're welcome ;)

Not silver, but stainless steel sheathing.😊

Very nice. If I recall, Trains did an article on this not too many years ago. I wish I could remember the m/y of that issue.
@Kendall Sutton Thank you for the information.
It was in a Classic Trains issue.

I guess it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new series online?
At least the name lives on in BNSF.

Cinder ballast? I thought that's not durable.
