  • Its cool to see how some place changed so drastically and others just seem to remain the same

  • @trainboy94

    That's one of the reasons that I got into this sort of "Than & Now" photography. The simple fact that over the span of a few decades, either everything can change or virtually nothing can change, presents a wonderful chance to study the nature of such change, both in terms of human development and natural progression.

  • At 1:35, I didn't even have to see the speeder or the tracks to know it was the Table Mountain Cut! Its so sad how the view from Gee Whiz point is all but the same. The Melones dam shouldn't have been raised, neither should have the Exchequer, destroying the YVRR. Incredible video! However, you forgot the Sacramento Northern Railway. I will take that from where you left off, since SN is now part of my life, myself living down the street from the old Concord yards. Thanks for this video!

  • @SierraRailway

    Table Mountain was always distinctive, wasn't it? Those multi-faceted walls of solid basalt: A literal river of rock turned inside-out.

    I've never traced the former SN through the Bay Area, but it it's certainly on my "to do" list. Personally, I have the strong suspicion that eventually we'll be seeing an "Echoes Through Time II."

  • You know what's ironic about the West Side Lumber Co.? its that the most if not all of the locomotives from the line still exist, but the entire line is no more, except for the Tuolumne yards, mostly. What really saddens me is they will never see home again, not like it was. I wish I could've seen West Side's heyday...

  • Don't be fooled by the many weeds and brush surrounding the phone booth on the Sierra RR's Standard to Tuolumne mainline at Ralph. the tracks, the trestles, and even the apple packing house at Ralph are still VERY much intact. A little money, TLC, and Soul work and the line will be rebuilt with new purpose...
