What is that grey thing that flashes by for a milli second at 3:10? Looks like a tender with portholes added.
Looks to be an passenger car, perhaps a diner due to the side door, now in MOW service. May not even be Mop as there were a few clips of Frisco equipment in the film.
I’d like to know the area where this was filmed and date(s). Must have been over several years as there are full F-unit lash-ups (pre-1972?) as well as locomotives in the last Jenks blue scheme (buzzsaw Eagle) and the 1974 re-numbering. Also saw de-turbo’d GP35’s which would be later. And a quick shot of an Amtrak SDP40F.
