Thanks for the video. The BNSF operations in the San Joaquin Valley are good to watch.

September 6, 1979, I began my time with the Santa Fe at Richmond, CA on the Valley Division.  I was the rod man on the 3 man survey crew for the new TOFC yard (mostly trailers).  Our crew was assigned to the Coast Lines, Grand Division (everywhere West of Isleta and Belen, NM).  Everywhere outside the City Of Commerce, CA, our home office, we were on "full expenses", with a company vehicle to carry 3 of us, a hoard of survey equipment, luggage, and supplies.  We were on call 24/7 for assigned work plus anything else that came up (or off the track).  In 3-1/2 months, I was promoted, again on full expenses, same territory, same HQ, different job for the next 2 years.  That time really flew by.

Thanks Mark keep tossing.                                                             Paul

If they ever "finish" the "high speed rail" project, which I doubt will happen, it will not be what was originally promised. Just too expensive. Nice to see trains going faster than 25 mph. He saw part of this while I was watching it and talked about when we were on a family trip in the mid 1970's having to wait about 30 to 40 minutes for a train to go past a crossing of the road we were on. He is now 59 years old. Thanks for giving us something different.

High speed rail on jointed track and wood ties? Is that good or bad? I don't know myself. Have a great day everyone.

No chemtrails, a rare day. Beautiful blue sky.

Brightline in Florida Filed Bankruptcy . Severa billion dollars in debt .  California High Speed Railroad will FAIL  , thats if it ever gets finished .

Now we cannot say high speed rail hasn't laid any track....What a waste of money pure theft from the tax payers. Thanks for your videos.
