BTW, one of those original Disneyland Railroad cars (the "Combine") will be moving to its new home at Walt Disney's Barn in Griffith Park very soon. Like the Barn itself, the Combine will be cared for by the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society. Walt's Barn is open every third Sunday from 11 until 3. carolwooddotcom

The railroad shown from 1:23 through 1:40 is not the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad; it is the Ghost Town and Calico Railway at Knott's Berry Farm. That's the #40 Green River (now renumbered to its original 340) pulling the cars from the Denver and Rio Grande, which were, at the time, painted a yellow somewhat similar to the original Disneyland passenger cars built in 1955 (the Disney cars had more of an orange hue). Great footage!

In those days, if you had a movie camera, you were very lucky. I don't remember whether the cameras were expensive or the developing was expensive but one of the two kept us from ever owning one. It would be so nice to see your family again. Us poor people have to just rely on the old black and white photographs I guess.

Todays kids are so lucky. They will be able to re-live their childhoods in HD for the rest of their lives. How I wish we had what is available today when I was a kid.

at 1:25 these old Disneyland Railroad looks like more of real train but today, the train cars looks like a Trolley cars, from Mr. Roger Neighborhood.

what do you use to transfer the olde fotage to a PC?

Because my mom has tons of fotage of disneyland in the 60's and 70's

[jimbones]

A Marvel in it's day! That little kid w black hair... typical classic "baby boomer" aged kid... probably a lawyer or a president of a company today

[Dib909]

I wish I were alive back then.

it can use SOME kind sound like music or something...

[YoungDripping]

This was back in the days of Regular 8mm home movies... double 8mm film and color film was a luxury

[Dib909]

Really? But can music be added some how with todays technolgy?

[YoungDripping]

of course. or are you being sarcastic? sound can be added during the transfer to DVD or video tape etc. a magnetic strip can be added to the edge of the film itself and then music or whatever you want could be recorded on it which was popular in the '70's or '80's but is impractical today since 8mm or super 8 is obsolete. I've got LOTs of old movies to convert

[Dib909]

oh, okay.

And no I was not being sacastic.

[oneandatwo]

Absolutely great.

[skot66]

I'm a really misting up now

[ofp857]

That was cool. It looked as if the Skyway was broken during the Teacup section of the film. You could see the buckets just hanging in the background, not moving an inch.

Great stuff.

[Gary1111001]

I think those are the things that hang above the teacups.
