For devotees of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, the name Gerald M. Best needs no introduction. This video takes you back to the late 1920s for Best's own black and white movie footage capturing the Lark, the Daylight, the Grand Canyon Limited, and even the Santa Paula local. The action is mostly in Southern California but you'll also see such utterly fascinating vignettes as Pullmans over Cajon, action at long-vanished city terminals, and the only footage we know of anywhere showing the Mt. Tamalpais gravity car. 33 Minutes In Black and White with Narration Packaged in Sturdy Vinyl Clamshell Case Produced by Interurban Press 1988 |
