Tribute to the people of the Milwaukee railroad 1940's, 50's, 60's in color.
How things have changed! I bought this wonderful, home recorded, VHS tape from famous Pacific Northwest railroad photographer Warren Wing many years ago. I don't know much about the video except that it was probably recorded during a Milwaukee railroad annual get together where people would often show home movies and slides.
Color film in that era was extremely expensive and rare for personal video cameras, so we are lucky to see these scenes in color. Most portable cameras were only good for around 8 seconds of filming before they had to be rewound by hand for another go. There is no sound as you would have to carry a very heavy reel to reel video tape recorder, car battery, and microphone to record sound. Even with recorded sounds, it was a living Hell trying to synchronize the sounds and the film during editing.
Narrator is Walt Miller and he did a outstanding job documenting the people and trains of the Milwaukee road. Thank you to Mr Warren Wing for keeping this little gem. This video was made purely for educational purposes. It is protected under the 1976 "Fair use" Copyright law, section 107.
