For all you video fans out there; I just got the Sunday Productions tape of the Southern Pacific Owens Valley Narrow Gauge. One of a series on the Southern Pacific RR. It is in color; which is kind of muddy. Maybe the original is 8mm. I think the three parts of the tape were made in the late 1940s, neither the narration of the packaging says just when. SP18 is there and she was retired in 1954, so its before that.
Not a great tape, but it's great to see some narrow gauge footage that is not contempory.
This may be old news, but I think worth repeating.
