very good to see. My parents worked for Frisco-Mom in General Office and Dad at freight house and later Lindenwood Yard. So my life revolved around Frisco, we did take their Sunnyland to Memphis. Dad went for job training at Memphis hump yard. I dont know where those people were boarding trains, was not Union Station or Tower Grove station either. Maybe Ste. Genevieve. Thanks for sharing.

Neat old film...interesting to see the infamous S2 cabless booster (rebuilt from a wreck) working in Memphis.

any idea what year this is?

[@s10ondubs]

jamochashake57 Probably around the 60s because of that Steam locomotive tender at 7:15 And the late 50s cars

so, this starts out at the Memphis hump.
If you look closely you may spot the future rail road CEO "superstar" EHH.
A person who will go down in RR history as in way way down.

He's also going to bring all the other railroads down with him! Except BNSF, Warren Buffett is too good for PSR

Great video, from the 7:00 minute mark on I am able to identify many places.

[@old56timer]

Ship it on the Frisco!

[@allgr8429]

Right away it goes into a siding for a freight. All heavyweight equipment. I wonder if the track is any less bumpy under BNSF.

Better without the crappy music.
