I lived at Norden CA for two years when I was a kid! I lived in one of the yellow houses you see in the video. Houses were connected via wooden tunnels. It’s all been torn down now. Great video and history lesson.
@@mikehawk2003 ,Yes and it was quite the shortsighted decision to remove the old number 1 track as traffic levels surged once UP RR took over operations,all SP saved was pennies by selling the track to the Sunset Route!

The enthusiasm of the narrator is off the charts.
Great little piece of railroading history.
The enthusiasm in his voice is off the chain.

Very nice thanks from an "Original Transcon RR" fan.
Thank you for having such amazing channel 😁
Nice bit of history, thanks
Once UP took over they did away with operations center and turntable!!!!!!!!
It said in the video that it occurred in 1993, coinciding with the removal of Track 1
