Sacramento Railfair 99 - Saturday

This was taped on the Saturday of the final weekend of Railfair 99.

Billed as the last great railroad event of the 20th century, Railfair '99 rolled into Sacramento June 18-27 for a grand tribute to the history and pageantry of railroading. More than 40 pieces of rail equipment were on display on the grounds of the California State Railroad Museum and along the banks of the Sacramento River. An estimated crowd in excess of 200,000 people attended the event over its 10-day run.

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have any other videos of Railfair 91 besides the news footage????? because I wasn't there for Railfair 91 because I wasn't born until 3 years later, and the reason why I keep asking you is because I love trains and live in Sacramento, I was 4 when I attended Railfair 99.

Sorry, I don't have any footage of the 91 Railfair.

The channel 10 footage I found by accident while watching old vhs tapes that I was about to toss out.
