We as modelers tend to focus on equipment and structures of the railroad as that is what goes on our model railroads. What we tend to forget is the men and women who work or worked the railroad during the period we model our chosen prototype or freelance. Blair Kooistra has produced a roughly 30 minute video that captures the essence of those railroaders with shots of them in their daily jobs during the last days of Milwaukee Road's west coast operations. It is worth your time to view this black and white gem that may rank as one of the best productions on railroading of this decade.
