1970s footage from Nelson

Freshly uploaded from the Nelson museum is a series of videos by Al Peterson, in two parts.

Highlights:

  • 2-8-0 3716 with the BC museum train at Castlegar (3716 is still running on the KVSR at Summerland)
  • Junked out lease power including PNC GP7s and a BLE F unit
  • A full variety of CP CLC and GMD power
  • Taghum during highway bridge construction
  • Some great harmonic rocking on jointed rail!

I was so thoroughly stoked to see this.
