Extreme SP

See the SP battle back to respectability in the early 90s. The aborted merger with the Santa Fe during the 1980s left both lines greatly weakened and the SP seemed to be the worst victim. Both lines made heroic turn-arounds but this story is how the SP pulled it off. The Extreme part of the title isn%u2019t kidding. The location covered are the toughest places the SP had to grapple with.

We feature many specially created maps and graphical grade profiles to bring greater understanding of these lines.

Lines to the north, Cascade and Shasta, Donner Pass, and rare Modoc Line views. The Modoc Line is another example of a Union Pacific %u201Credundant-reject%u201D in their plans -- once they captured the SP property as their own.

Many choice scenes from hundreds of hours of material to show the great variety of SP power and scenic locations. Some of the material is from early 1970%u2019s film to round out the presentation.

Don%u2019t miss the great snow fighting on the Donner Pass Line. Cabooses and a parade of great SP power! 1 hour and 52 minutes
