What an absolute thrill to once again be able to ride the rails in the 1940's from San Francisco to Chico. Seeing the towns, landscaping, cars and people who made up our community was spectacular. Watching the train being loaded on the ferry to cross the Carquinez Bay at Martinez is breathtaking. All in all, what a thrill! The digital enhancements over VHS is remarkable. Congratulations of a fantastic job. Sacramento Northern - Transit Gloria Mundi - Catenary Video Productions boxcarmike (Santa Ana, California) on 2012-03-23 18:40:36.

This DVD is astounding. Unil I saw it, I knew very little about the Sacramento Northern. I had seen where it once had been just recently and that it had been quite an interurban Railroad.

For the Interurban Fan or someone who is interested in California Scenery or History this DVD is Sacramento Northern - Transit Gloria Mundi - Catenary Video Productions Abner Cook (Clovis NM USA) on 2024-09-12 16:17:20.
I have this video, but plan to order a SPARE copy. I disagree with the phrase by the description of the video "If you have this video on VHS, you already have it"...I DO have it on VHS - the DVD is SO much better! The only thing about the DVD version versus the VHS version I have is that there is a theater organ playing in the background which does NOT belong! I know that Ira Swett, who was the head of the publication "Interurbans" and a Sacramento Northern expert,<br>played the theater organ, but it should be left out of this program!!!<br>Otherwise, I recommend this DVD very highly. I was a kid who lived in Concord, CA most of my life and I used to run when I heard those air horns from the "Juice Jacks" 652, 653 and 654 to run to watch it. I also saw the Walnut Creek and Oakland sites in the early 1950s. I have also been to most of the sites from Oakland CA to Sacramento, which back in the 1980s, some were still there. Last night, I looked on Google Maps in Oakland and those tracks on Union Street, which, together with the Lisbon Trestle collapse and the ferry "Ramon" not being seaworthy, caused the demise of the Sacramento Northern. I have the books and newspaper articles, including the one which I am sure Art Alter saw about the discontinuance of passenger trains in 1940. Even if you have it on DVD, GET THIS ONE!!!!!! I will be glad when I have a spare copy, which I will order from this site next month. (October). The price is very reasonable!
