Identifying an old video of Tehachapi Loop?

[PaulRhB]

Back in the late 80’s or early 90’s I had a vhs tape with a two program compilation about Tehachapi and Cajon. I’m trying to find out if there’s a dvd copy as the vhs one got lost over the years and was a bit knackered!

As I recall the tape it had an archive section on rebuilding the line after an earthquake set to the ‘Global News’ music track followed by lots of blue & yellow SF era for most of the program. 
I seem to remember it was WB productions, and had a blue cover with photos?

Anyone know of a dvd or digital copy available? Cheers

Hi Paul, a company called Pentrex seem to have done one with a blue cover and photos.  Any use?  Keith.

Amazon claim it is region 1 coded NTSC, whereas US sellers claim region 0 coded.

Thanks Keith that was the right period but I recall it as a different program a friend had, and the content description backs that up, not the one with the archive footage? If anyone has a copy and confirm if it has the earthquake rebuild and building Barstow yard in it?

 

Pretty certain it was WB Productions but this is all I can find and doesn’t include the Cajon bit as I got a copy on dvd

I found this one as well, still no rebuilding section.

My dad had that video I remember distinctly the rebuilding bit.

 

Unfortunately I cannot help further - it went to the great video collection in the sky well before I emptied his home.

You might find it among this vast number of reviews. https://americantrainvideoreviews.com/

I've searched Cajon & Tehachapi and found loads of videos but nothing about the rebuilding.

Yes several good videos from the era, I’ve collected several trying to find it 😆 

That was the genesis of my US collection though be why I became enamoured by the Santa Fe 😄
