I love this era in railroading. Freight cars during the 60s and 70s were so colorful and they had those creative slogans for the railroad companies. Those open auto racks were just about to be replaced by partial and eventually fully enclosed cars for better protection from vandalism and theft. Most of the open auto racks were retired by the mid 1970s.

With boxcars still dominating much, if not most of the train. And many of them the old "standard" 40 footers. Now days it's a different story.

Yeah, back when SCL, stood for "Smooth Cushioned Load". Lol. ATSF, Super Shock Contol, a smoother ride". SP, Hydra Cushion. But then the MoP just said, "Cushion Car". Oh well. I guess every company had their own priorities.

Oh man!!. When those bi-levels n Tri-levels were wide open, and all the roads said, "We gotta do sumthin about this vandalism. Every solution was a lil bit different, til the car builders came up with solutions. Now, we've got the Auto Rack trains of today. Boring as hell, but they get the job done. Nuff said.

Kids were raised differently back then, they were taught respect, decency, responsibility, and they were raised with moral values...not like today's world its a pathetic, embarrassing excuse for a supposedly civilized society.

14:10 that’s my great grandfather, and at 14:30 the second car is his black bug. And then again at 18:10 that’s him. Never met him but my grandfather just showed me this video. Very cool.

One thing I learned being around railroads in my life is that railroads are filthy rotten dirty. You are covered with grime, dirt and smoke no matter what job you do. Even just operating the locomotive gets you filthy.
