- This is a short Railroad Documentary on the Southern Pacific Railroad's Yuma Subdivision. This is the first episode in a video series called "Historic Rail Lines" where we will cover various different Rail Lines back in their heyday. The Yuma Subdivision is a historic rail line as it connected the west to the east on the famous Southern Pacific Railroad. To this day this is the Union Pacific's main line heading west out of southern California. Watch trains battle the steep grades of Beaumont hill and race across the desert flats to Yuma Arizona. There's plenty of different Locomotive's with Southern Pacific's SD40-2 variants like the famous tunnel motors. SD45's, GP40-2, B-40, and more are shown in this video. Make sure to go subscribe to the different UA-cam channels below. I reused their footage to create this train documentary so the video credit goes to them. Other topics include railfan, railfanning, railroad history, mountain railroading, railroading, railroader, locomotives, trains, rio grande railroad, union pacific railroad, santa fe railroad. This is Historic Rail Lines: The Southern Pacific's Yuma Subdivision #railroad

We called the North end of Taylor Yard “Top End of A Yard.” I was a brakeman for SP but we could also work yard jobs as switchman. I have been Top End of A Yard herder.
my great uncle, Joe DeVos worked out of Yuma AZ his whole career on the Espee. he was an engineer. RIP unlce Joe and aunt Bonnie. great viday. thank you.
Awesome video, I was a conductor/brakeman mid seventies thru mid nineties. My home terminal was Yuma Arizona. Worked between Tucson and Phoenix.this video really brings back lots of memories.
awesome, my dad was working the other end (colton to yuma) in the mid 90s). I worked it briefly on the UP.
I Remember the modules and the bars and a army surplus store. I was a brakeman on Colton to Yuma runs off the extra board.
1998 I went on a golfing holiday to the States my first time to America & on the second day I saw an American freight train & promptly forgot all about golf & spent my time chasing trains + spending a whole day watching trains @ West Colton Yard from the bridge on Pepper Ave
We mat a guy called Steve who for work had spent time in England working in the West Country he told us of another location A Diamond Crossing not to far away which we went to it had a cafeteria & shop so my wife sat in the shade while I spent time @ the Diamond & was invited to sit in a car whose driver was listening to the engineers & dispatchers
We also went to San Diego Model Railway Museum in the Zoo & spent a fascinating day there looking & watching the model trains
You might have guessed we forgot all about the golf
awesome story thanks for sharing!@@johnboughton7451

Hi. I'm a cameraman for Pentrex Media. I noticed from 7:47 to 7:53 you used 2 scenes, captured by me, from Pentrex videos. Did you seek permission from Pentrex to use our footage in your video?
Gee, no response. What a shock. I'm going to notify our legal dept about your unauthorized use of our copyrighted footage.
You said crew changes use to happen at Yuma. Where do crew changes happen now?
@@tomharris8263 they used to happen at Yuma yard, now it’s a little east if there, still Yuma.
@@AllThingsRailroad Sounds good. Thanks for the reply.
@@tomharris8263 no problem👍🏻
Hello, when I worked for Southern Pacific. We changed crews at the yard office located at 291 Gila St. Just east of the Colorado river bridge. Now, they change crews just east on the Pacific Ave. over pass. Which used to be called east yard.
