Hollywood Outtakes: A Southern Pacific Scrapbook

Описание: Here is another selection of clips from stock shots and outtakes at archive.org, all of these being of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
0:10 This is a staged shot--on a very rainy night, a passenger train stops at a rural station to let a special passenger off. P-5 4-6-2 Pacific No. 2445 (Baldwin, 1912) leads a four-car train. The stationmaster and the passenger are probably actors, but the train crew appear to be railroad employees. Location, and what film this may have been for, are unknown.
1:26 A passenger train arrives at the Suisun-Fairfield (CA) railroad station. The station still stands, but the scene is today dominated by the Highway 12 overpass. The locomotive appears to be a 4-6-2 Pacific, but I can't tell anything else about it or the train.
2:03 This is a staged shot, and an odd one at that. Two trains pass, and as they pass, the track is suddenly swarming with men jumping on and off trains. This is a background shot for Wild Boys of the Road (1933). Thanks to YouTuber Alex Clement for the ID.
One locomotive is 4-8-2 Mt-1 Mountain No. 4324 (Alco, 1923), while I can't tell anything about the other. Even the name on the tender has been painted over.
3:10 There was no Mountside station on the Southern Pacific or any other railroad, as far as I know, so this is likely a staged shot. The location could be the old depot at Chatsworth, CA. P-5 4-6-2 Pacific No. 2440 (Baldwin, 1912) does the honors.
3:57 This is 4-8-2 Mt-1 Mountain No. 4338 (Alco, 1923) at the head of the Sunset Limited.
4:08 This is 2-8-0 C-9 No. 2859 (Brooks), smoking it up for the camera. The location is possibly the Burbank branch of the SP.
4:22 A doubleheader making time with a streamlined consist. That's all I know about this.
4:32 Most of the time, when movies need a head-on shot of an approaching train, they'll film a train backing away and reverse the film. Not this shot--the camera is mounted on some sort of swivel, and the locomotive (the 2440 again) hits it and pushes it aside.
4:56 The last shot in this video is a long one, showing a lone diesel switcher moving a long cut of cars. About half-way through the shot, 0-6-0 S-8 switcher no. 1184 backs into the scene and waits. This was taken in San Francisco in the Mission Bay area. The mainline from the Third Street depot is in the foreground; locomotives at the Mission Bay roundhouse can be seen in the distance.

The original films are silent, so I've added music by Aaron Copland: excerpts from is ballet Billy the Kid, arranged for Piano by Lucas Foss. The performance, from 1949, is by Oscar Levant.

If you have any more information about any of these clips, please leave a comment and I'll incorporate your info into this description. Thanks.
