A nice Edison video of some railroad action from the turn of the last century. Shows front end shots, brakemen on top of cars, crossing flagmen, semaphores.... Well worth a watch.

About Me
- Mike Jobe (espeemike on the blogs)
- I am a 50's something middle class American man. Among my hobbies are woodworking, stain glass, and railroading. I am currently working towards my MMR (Master Model Railroader) and this blog will give me an opportunity to show my skill set. My father joined up with the Southern Pacific Railroad shortly after world war II. He worked there until his retirement. My wife's grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfathers were engineers for the Cotton Belt RR and logging railroads of old. With that said, this blog is pretty much dedicated to my interest of railroading (both model and prototype)and its various elements. In addition, some of this blog will be focusing on the Disneyland Railroad of which, I spent many of my childhood and adult moments on. I welcome any comments.
