Review of Scarlet and Gray Memories D-128 Charles Smiley Presents

 4.3 of 5 (3)
Scarlet and Gray Memories - Join us for a look back at the SP in the 1990s and in earlier views of the 1970s. See Coastline action along SoCal shores with mainline and local freight trains. Visit White Hills, Lompoc and Santa Paula branch lines and follow the venerable Saugus Local and see its efficient crew keep schedules for freight customers on Metrolink's busy Saugus Line that was bought from SP. We bring nostalgic SP action in the Tehachapis with lumber, oil-can, coal-drags and general freight. Remember the days when 5 front and 5 back were the "norm". See the SP power that has been taken away by the 1996 UP-SP merger that has erased so much of the past. More action and views from the San Fernando Valley, Cajon Pass and Beaumont Hill bring you a SP that you can fondly remember. These are the missing views that define the SP to every fan that misses the railroad that built California into the giant economy that remains today. Lots of fun and lots of older SP power that went away fr
