    Way Cool. The Billy Goat was quite a railroad.

    Finding videos such as these will likely be as close as we can come, in turning back the sands of time. :(

    Great stuff Kurt!
    We so often focus on the pointy end, the locos and cars, that we forget all the infrastructure that it takes to get those trains from one location to another. These videos were a great reminder to me that there is so much more to a railroad than just the cars and locomotives.

    Those two clips were so awesome. Thanks for that, that was very informative seeing all of that rolling stock. I thought the corporate jet was pretty cool too.

    This video as well as some others were part of a series of tapes you could purchase from the BN back in the 1990's.
    I forgot that I had this one as well as one about the history of Gavin Yard that the GNRHS produced.
    Great reference material.

    Yeah it was a "state of the art" classification yard back in the day.
