Then, you'' move to California for more of Joseph Schmitz's 8mm live sound film in the 1950's. Returning to San Francisco in 1956, he shot a great sequence of steam Commute trains with GS 4-8-4's, MT 4-8-2's, Pacifics and 0-6-0's working the yard. He then moved down the Commute line to San Mateo where these same engines were romping at high speeds. Also covered in Volume 2 are GS-powered Mail Trains and excursions in 1956 with GS engines 4437 and 4439, You'll pace the 4439 at 95 MPH! The show closes with Pacific 2475 running an excursion from San Jose to Tracy on January 1, 1958. All of Joe's footage has live sound to make this a very action-packed show!
