Great stuff, and great footage of other locomotives at the start.
Great footage. Thank you for posting.
This one is posted over at Fordbarn. Except for the number of workers some things have not changed since 1935;

Wes, thanks for posting this, i lived in Ogden, Utah for several years and took part in several of the re-enactments as the governor of the Arizona Territory, the reason they couldn't hit the spikes was because they were drunk, the engines were late in arriving because of pay issues so they all drank to pass the time.

Very nice, indeed.
Fantastic, enjoyed that - thanks Wes!
