The SP around Dunsmuir 1991
Author: UP9000

A high school friend and I were treated to a 3 day trek up to the Feather River and then Shasta by his father in July of 1991. Here is 6 min of the old SP we got to see.

Loved the video . . . you could almost feel the heat on your opening couple of clips . . . I shot film (with sound) around the Loop back in the late 70's . . . you've whetted my appetite . . . gotta dig those out and convert to video.

STUNNING! Really hard to put into words how amazing these videos are and the times we were able to experience with the late great SP. Also I good contrast to the all-EMD power of the day compared to today.

So July 1991 was the month of the Cantara Loop wreck. Were you there right before?

Nice work, interesting editing. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that clip.

Amazing how much has changed and yet how little has changed. I was at the Loop about a week before the spill, man that was a long time ago.

As others have said, great video Jamie!

Lots of interesting stuff...SD45s and tunnel motors. Love the beacon at night.

I don't recall seeing Rio Grande 40' reefer containers, anyone have some photos (I've attached a screenshot from the video)?
