Aaahhhhhh the good Ole days

Detroit Diesel serie 40E with Alison B400R

As of 2024, OCTA 1997-1998 New Flyer D40LF training bus units 5376, 5388, 5401, 5403, 5406, 5408-5412 & 5416 will retire from the OCTA Bus service at Garden Grove Base to remove all the paint schemes on the exterior of the bus, bike racks fareboxes and the OCTA logo front of the bus by auction and after that our 11 ex-OCTA 1997-1998 New Flyer D40LF buses from the bone yard at Garden Grove Base and sold to LA Charter Bus Lines.

At one time someone told me 1990 Gillig suburban 45ft F1063 was being preserved at Arcadia Yard as historic bus I don't know if it's still there. If it is that bus is around 30 years old. The 1000s were the first especially built for Los Angeles services. They ran on line 480 alot back in the 90s

OCTA 1997 New Flyer D40LF #5401 will retire to remove the blue “OCTA” logo, “Orange County Transportation Authority”, and all the Paint scheme on the exterior to make it blank at General Auction Company after that this fleet number of OCTA 1997 New Flyer D40LF unit will sold to LA Charter Bus Lines to drive around at LAX Airport.

I like those SP engines.

repowering them..and then retiring them...this just proves that California or any other blue state has too much money...

I'm sure the 1000s we called them the 10s are gone Most likely by now

Gillig Suburban to be exact F1050 one of 63 i believe 1995 or so used to be used on line 480 Montclair Transit center to Los Angeles Wilshire and Union St retired before being cut to west Covina Mall these buses are 20 years old now. Considering we now have 3100s we're Way past 1000

Hello! I'm making a short documentary about the MK SD40M-2 and I was thinking if I could use this footage in it? With full credit of course.

You need to call Ernie Lacario....best damn helper engineer i ever knowed! Give im 3 tunnel motors and he could pull the moon from orbit! Thanks Son for your recording on this!

And THAT is why the SP needed the tunnel motors…..and the reason why their engines were always filthy!

10 years later the 1100s would end up being retired and some are now in Santa Cruz

ужас в этом тоннеле совершенно нет системы вентиляции!

The colorful era of railroading.

3:39 There's a bloody full light package on the SD40R 7373! Almost no light packages remained by 96!

These poor engines having their guts open and in notch 8 for how many years? Love to wash one and see how clean I can get it

HOWLING EMD S !!!!

#6873 will never smell the same again !

Very impressive! And I like that the assistant Engineer is a Female. I like when the Ladies like and do whats normally thought of as a Mans occupation. Those engines just sing out power!

OOOOHHHHhhhhh ..Now THAT is the Southern Pacific Railroad !!!!

I just recreated this video using my Atlas Kodachrome U36C. I plan on modeling this era of Tehachapi as well as the modern day Tehachapi.

1:20 That is a unit like SP 7319, a victim of that shitty water-based paint.

0:52 - you can see smoke billowing out of the cab on that last unit. Must've been an absolutely awful working environment. Anyone have any experience in that situation? 2:25 - the side window is absolutely covered in soot! (unless it's trail only or something) Absolutely wild. This footage is fantastic! Were these oil trains particularly heavy?

SP 4449 shippers special the spirit that won the west special daylight

Up 8444 great steam trek

Up 8444 & sp 4449 cajon pass

I'm surprised there's not a locomotive or two at the rear pushing!

I miss the Cans! I wish I was born early enough to see them operate!

Rare GP20 in there! Love it!

We were THE most awesome railroad back in the 1980s and 90 until the merger. Our locos might have been dirty, but we slugged it out up the mountains and thru valleys carrying coal and oil. The good old days

I miss this classic bus

I used to work in downtown LA near the wilmington subdivision and the Oil cans would go by often. It is a one-of-kind oil train that had cars connected so they could be filled/emptied in groups.

Nothing that a few bottles of NOS couldn’t cure 😀😀😀

No train hoppers survived this.

I see light packages in the middle set...what year was this recorded?

Oh boy, that's an old blue Rock Island autorack. I didn't think any of those existed.

GP35s weren't all too common here, were they?

Dang, awesome train...Notice the literally just-installed ditch lights on the SD45R 7417

Those 4500 series Dash-9s might have left the roster with the recent lease-expiration...

Why is there UP power in there?

That is a lot of SD40M-2s. I need to pick some up...

That's a non-rebuilt SD45 you got there. Awesome!

Didn't know these had Thermo King A/C! Cool

bruh their even tunnel motors, long ass tunnel, slow train

❤

Wow!! So cool you captured this 🙌🏽😄

no wonder why Espee utilized the tunnel motors and the cab-forward steam locomotive design back in the day. Good grief- it certainly helps explain the nearly black of the locomotives after outshopping.

You don’t want to be a hobo on this one…
