This is one chapter of our great DVD tilted “Diesel Power on the SP”. Everything in this video has vanished from the scene or is in a museum. See the way railroading was long ago when things were far more interesting, and a variety of equipment was in everyday use.
For the entire 1-hour and 30-minute video production visit our website www.cspmovies.com or your favorite hobby dealer.
To quote Railfan & Railroad magazine, “….the quality and depth of the information in the narration is so great. A must for SP fans I would think, as well as students of motive power evolution, use and disposition.”
To quote a review in Model Railroad News, “Smiley, as usual, pulls from unfathomable depths of footage to locate and select delightful pearls of 8 and 16mm footage.”

Great video, thanks for posting.
Another winner! Including some “round back” Wayne buses, that looked to be charters or former school service. Probably the brand called Associated. Those would be new circa 1962.
At 12:10, I have serious doubts that the runby labeled "Tehachapi" is accurate. Video shows curve near crossing. Tehachapi has straight rail all through town. Good video otherwise!
Awesome sight for touched eyes! Meaning, I love these diesels.
