The Southern Pacific Railroad is one of the great "fallen flags" of the modern railroad era. One location that the SP was most noticeable was the San Francisco Bay region, in both commuter and freight service.
This video gives us an in depth look at the action from early days to the end and Cal-train service. Included are maps of the region, including stops made by the commuter trains. There is a wide variety of power dating back to the earlier days of diesels, including a look at FM Trainmasters and diagrams as to how their unique engines worked with the opposed pistons. A very interesting type of engine. Then there are plenty of Alco's and older EMD's in their first generation. Always very nice to see.
The history of the region is quite interesting. And this video does an excellent job showing it to us. I believe that the viewer will be quite fascinated with this video. City type railroading is always interesting, but add in the history part and you have a very fine video. This video is just that. I would highly recommend it to all rail fans.

Good Bay Area SP operation. Could have used more on the East Bay Side. But if you are a SP Bay Area Fan it's good.
