Excellent quality video! I love UP high speed jointed rail!

The Desert Wind....what memories of riding that train. A girl....Las Vegas... a 22 year old dream come true!!

This is one of my favorite CZcams channels to date! You really brought my childhood racing back. My dad used to take me to Fullerton Station as a kid for cheap entertainment (born in 1980). We ended up moving out to Mira Loma, wasn't far from the UP mainline. He also took me to the San Bernardino Station when the Santa Fe shops were open, and of course we passed the famous West Colton yard! Thank you again for you uploads and bringing back some good times!! Much love from Virginia Beach, VA

Thank You for the kind comment. I'm always glad to hear that my videos brought back memories of another time. That was my objective when I first got a camcorder.

[@timpriddy349]

this here is the railfanning I knew in the mid late eighties on my bmx........the horns and older rolling stock.......you really captured history

[@vancepomerening4794]

Lived it! And now I can live it again! Thanks.

Recently discovered your fantastic videos - thanks so much for sharing!

[@vidwilzvids9587]

[@RogerThunderhandsGilbert]

Thank you for your kind comments.

The old Santa fe San Bernardino subdivision. Great memories

[@waynehawkins2157]

Love the rail action at Colton Ca

[@vidwilzvids9587]

It used to be a good safe place to watch trains. Not so much any more. Thanks for the comment.

[@JonRailVideos2011-1]

You have a very great collection of train catches. Thank you for sharing them onto CZcams. And very nice catch of the MoPac caboose at 8:44. I wonder where it was heading and if it was UP's or privately owned?-Jon

[@vidwilzvids9587]

I think one of my other Cajon videos shows a couple of these in a short train. This type of caboose tended to be used in MW and special load(s) moves. When UP took over MoPac they kept MP's reporting marks and numbers (if they didn't conflict). Thanks for the kind comment.

11:22 It that the 7230? I have that exact model in HO scale! Unfortunately mine doesn't have the L shaped window but I'm hoping to refit it with one in the future.

[@bensmall6548]

Looks like 7200 actually.

[@easyamp123]

Nice catch of the fairly rare gp40x @11:15

[@RailfanningBNSFandUNIONPACIFIC]

Woah is that cirdge street?

[@rustyscupper2936]

By '88 they had removed the connectors (SPSF)?

[@littleteapot132]

great northern 5:57

Back when railroads had variety and there were not fat face ge and emds

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Fat-Face! That's a good adjective for techno-toasters.

[@NB-br9rv]

Do you not like the ge safety cabs?

[@AbelG8781]

@@NB-br9rv they're very cool but let's be real here, they're far too common

[@joeystrains.9316]

Where did you get this footage, did you record it?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

I shot it myself on my first video camcorder, a Sony 8mm (CCD-V8).

[@joeystrains.9316]

@@vidwilzvids9587 Sir, you were ahead of your time. They are fantastic. Keep up the good work.

[@dmaxsba]

Was that a FuelFoiler 10pk on that first train shown?

[@vidwilzvids9587]

Yep... One of my Cajon videos from that year features a whole train of solid ten-packers at Campground. Thanks for the comment.

[@davidstewart3337]

Fuck. That sp train.

[@staintedcards]
