Stockton Tower

Another Charles Smiley commercial video sampler.

First 15 minutes documents Stockton Tower in the 70s. Speeds look slow, only 10-20 mph or so. Must have been a real bottleneck. Somewhat boring footage, but you can jump ahead.

Second half has films of WP on Altamont Pass. Cool 1970s mix of traffic on jointed rail.

From system maps, WP competed directly with SP. I bet not having miles of branch lines is what saved the WP from going under.
