Little Willie, The Leader Of The Band -- June Winters (Lady In Blue)
A classic children's story about a young would-be musician who thought he did not like to practice. This was originally released on a 78 record, then was re-recorded for this LP in the late 1950s. This version was played occasionally on Captain Kangaroo and other programs.

Honky Tonk piano played by Shamus O'Gould, with Joe Sodja on four-string banjo. From 1957. My remaster. This is a rare LP that my dad purchased in 1957 by mistake when I was a baby, and a few years later he was going to throw it away, but then noticed that I was very fond of it, so he kept it. The description from the album backside is below. If you've heard the Julian Gould Quartet on DESIGNS ...

Windy Point Tunnel walk-through, August 2022.
zhlédnutí 135Před 9 měsíci
Great Northern trains crossing the Cascades between 1892 and 1913 had to slow to a crawl as they curved around the rocky promontory of Windy Point. The curve was so sharp that trains might derail if they exceeded five miles per hour. Passengers on one side looked out at a cliff wall. Those on the other looked down a sheer drop-off to the Tye River. After 1913, trains could travel much faster, t...

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY--Historical Video---part 4 of 4
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 15 lety
The last memories of the Great Northern Railway. Part 4 consists mostly of a ride aboard #32, the Empire Builder, from Seattle to Scenic as seen from a dome car, followed by a few scenes taken on the return trip from Spokane aboard #27, the Western Star. This was taken in April 1971 after the BN merger, but most equipment seen is ex-GN. A shaky but fun look at how things used to be, as seen thr...

Great to see your reply. I was probably 19 or 20. Jimmie George from Merrit was section foreman at Sky then.
My dad was an operator at Merritt in the 1950s, and he recalled a teenage Jim George hanging around the depot sometimes. He lived in a house near there. You may have also known signal maintainer Don Walters, and Henry Cox who was section foreman in the Scenic district. They both lived at Scenic. The houses were torn down over forty years ago (needlessly).
@@ScenicDepot I remember Henry Cox. I worked summers at the GNRY from 1963 to 1968 while I was in college. Was a Fire and Slide Patrolman the last year following the trains up and down the hill in the dark on a speeder getting track time at the CTC shacks.
Also entered the Pioneer tunnel after hours with Kenny Denny’s son from Index. Hiked in about a quarter mile and dropped into the main tunnel through a metal door then ran like hell because a westbound was behind us. Just kids being stupid
@@user-kp2lf4dd8f In the summer of 1965 I took a ride one evening with a young blond guy fire patrol from Scenic to E Sky and back, whose name I do not recall. It would be funny if that was you, but the year is wrong.
@@ScenicDepot I don’t know about the year, but I had reddish brown hair. All gray now!
I was a gandydancer working on the Skykomish section in 1965 and remember working the Derailment
I probably saw you there then. I was 8 at the time. They put in a shoofly as you will recall, there was enough space on the side to do it. The location was Tonga, which used to have extra tracks many decades earlier.
Edmonds, my hometown! Dad took us kids to Wenatchee and back from here in late '71, conductor gave us kids old Big Sky Blue GN pins leftover! He got us some apples when we got to Wenatchee too! Thanks for the memories!
Love it❤ SO little on Great Northern!
Awesome!
Are those BN or GN leaders because if BN then they are executive colors and that would be cool
@@ScenicDepot ok thanks and cool
I went through that tunnel many tines I was a Brakeman !
Hello from Kansas🇺🇸
John 3:7 “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9-10 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
"I AM the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
@@ScenicDepot That's right! Your saved?
@@Jesus_paid_it_all A Jesus-follower, a daily walk-by-faith.
@@ScenicDepot Amen. That's just amazing. I watched your four videos on the Great Northern Railway and it seems as though you have some blessed memories of those days. God bless, I'm glad your saved!
@@Jesus_paid_it_all I have very good memories of those days. I was an unusually blessed train-loving boy, at the right place at the right time, and none of it was by coincidence. You should also check out my six-part video about the Tenerife air crash incident in 1977. Best wishes to you-- Tom
I think it s nice to have videos of a great Railroad long extinct I will always remember the Great Northern mountain goat
Awesome films
Wow! Just wow! So happy to see this, history!
What a thrill to see this. I worked in the '60s as a gandy ancer and fire and slide patrolman for the gnry during Summers. The scenery, the buildings, calls to the dispatcher, what Memories.
I’m laughing at the scene of the passenger train (6:41)with the TOFC flats spliced in mid-train. Rock Island did this same thing and was reviled at having defaced the noble Rocket. Passenger train losses were so bad they had to come up with some new angle to make a little money I suppose.
Great video! More on the original BN also: czcams.com/video/x27WRQpIcIg/video.html
I find it a coincidence I remember seeing Great Northern Railway cars on a railroad spur in 1970 and did n t know The Great Northern Railroad was brought to extinction in 1970 I never will forget The Great Northern mountain goat ( Rocky )
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
so beautiful locomotives within their colors..
I have been in one of those 2 diesels that are in Sweden..
the 2 diesel locomotives are located in an town called as ''Kristinehamn''..
I posted in an image to show those 2 locomotives.
..one of the 2 last locomotives sold to Sweden.....
..in Sweden.
..which still exists...
there's 2 locomotives from the company of great northern...
Thoroughly enjoyed all 4 parts, thank you.
Absolutely superb set of four videos, I have enjoyed every one, it was great to see Skykomish and cascades areas like that, Thank You from the UK
I saw my 1968 cougar on an autorack
10/28/2021 What a neat set of 4 videos, covering a good bit of a youngsters life along the tracks. The additional sound track of dispatch work made it even better. Great job. I wonder why I never came across the videos before? For your information, there is a you Tube channel (NW pacific rail fan) that has almost daily videos done along the Kootenai division, mostly done east of Troy Montana, and on the fisher river realignment. Lots of trains, and well recorded. ;-)
Taking a trip back in time AN Era long ended
Road the Empire Builder Minneapolis to Spokane around this time, the Western Star, and North Coast Limited in the late 60's. Im so thankful I had these experiences as a young kid.
Having ridden the Empire Builder west several times, it was great to see its predecessor.
At 0:31 we see the 2nd Avenue extension bridge and the Seattle Lighting sign. That business is still there. Then at 0:38 we go under the South Main Street Bridge to the 1904 Tunnel. Prefontaine Building above. That building is still there.
On the former Northern Pacific Rails.
Gee according to you old B.N. Guy's your rails were made of gold. Milwaukee Road was a better railroad . Too bad they had ex N.p. management running it into the ground on purpose.
My grandfather was an engineer out of white fish MT in the 1940
Cool to see the NP trestle Adrian. It sure was large
Very interesting insight into operations on the Great Northern.
who produced this video? Any idea who dubbed the music? Interesting audio track.
The producer is in the opening credits, "By Tom Garrett," yours truly. The music is from an old choir background tape from the 1970s, music by the well-known blind musician Ken Medema.
this brings back a ton of memories. My dad worked in freight opps at GN. And now, ironically enough, I live at the Sunset Falls Bridge where this video starts.
A well done 4-part series of a grand railroad. BRAVO ZULU!!!
I remember, "EK".
I am Most ENVEOUS of the young man. I was a member of the Burlington Northern Explorer Post # 067 In Bellingham, Washinton, from 1971 to 1979. We had LOTS of opprotunities and practical experiances in modern railroad and Steam powered railroad, thanks to the Culp Brothers and there familiy, that operated the steam excursion, at Lake Whatcom. Our Explorer Post went out every summer and " Gandy Danced " for the brothers, to help keep the roadbed proper. As a division of Scouting, "we" had the opprotunity to ride trains, if we had a " Yard Release " signed by us and our parents. It was a child hood dream come true..........B/N hardhat.....B/N Explorer jacket.......switch lantern........weigh-bill holder and train schedual and timetables.....I even had striped bib-overalls, with a pocket watch. Through my High School days, when I would travel from Bellingham, to Pasco,......I would have my "Yard Release " completed and the conductor of the passenger train, would let me occupy any un occupied " Conductors Compartment " that I wished. Of course, it was ALWAYS the last car and compartment. Ohhhh.......how I miss thoes days!
Great music choices.
Exciting video! Thanks for uploading! Are these 7 "poles" we can see on the car in front of the dome car an antenna for the train radio? Regards from Germany.
Funny, I had never thought much about those, and had to consult with a few experts just now and also looked it up. It is indeed a horizontal antenna for picking up AM radio stations, which they used to play for passengers prior to the 1960s. By this time it was just a rooftop relic. Glad you enjoyed the little show. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as home HD video in those days. Home movies were 8mm film and expensive.
@@BodoGMeier VHF operation on railroads became established after WWII. The primary frequency for the Great Northern was always 161.1 MHz. In 1970 when the merger happened which resulted in the Burlington Northern, the frequency allocations were retained and remain the same to this day. In GN days, the region through Stevens Pass was known as the Cascade Division. After the first merger of the BN it became known as the Pacific Division. With the BNSF merger the name was changed again to the Scenic Subdivision. So on the other video you refer to, it likely refers to the parts of the subdivision east or west of Scenic. On the dispatcher radio circuit that section is known as "Seattle East." VHF operation in the mountain territory there is done via repeaters.
@@BodoGMeier The sign that says "East Scenic" is at the east switch (where the siding joins the mainline) which is 1000 feet west of the tunnel. Another 700 feet west of the sign is where the depot used to be. They are using a long lens there so it gives a different perspective. A few miles northeast of there is where the worst railway avalanche in U.S. history happened in March 1910 where a passenger train and a mail train were trapped for a week, and in the avalanche 96 people perished. The excessive accumulation of winter snow at higher elevations and the cost of maintaining extensive and expensive snowsheds forced the Great Northern to build the 7.79 mile Cascade Tunnel which was completed in 1929. It was constructed from both ends, and when they met in the center, the line was only off by a few inches. It was an amazing engineering feat even by the standards of today, being completed in slightly over three years.
Many thanks for your excellent 4 part series...even in 2020 your gift keeps on giving.
Nice music!
As said by all, you do a great service by preserving this footage, it's a priceless cultural artifact and very close to my heart. I spent summers as a kid in Skykomish with family visiting my Moms parents, her dad was a helper conductor. It was a very magical place for a kid. He always said the GN was a very special company to work for, that they stood by employees and families because they knew the sacrifice that job could require. Anyway, much much gratitue, keep up the good deeds!
Hello! My father in law is a Great Northern Railway lover for many many years, and my mother in law passed last year and was in love with the music from these videos- I told him I would do all I could to find out where the music came from. If you could let me know who it is or how to find this music the whole family would be incredibly grateful!
Hello Kate, I just saw this request. The music is from an old choir instrumental background tape from the 1970s written by a well known blind musician named Ken Medema which went with an album of his back then called "Listen." I was in a youth choir then and had the tape and kept it all these decades. You can get a copy of the matching LP on eBay. It won't be just the instrumentals but the choral version.
These videos are awesome! I rode through on the Empire Builder recently, and it's still a sight to see! What songs did you use in these videos?
