Here is a great remastered video along the Southern Pacific. Great shot of a Standard Oil dealer and more industries along the road towards the end. These AI remastered videos are amazing!

The Erie and IGN boxcars were of interest.

Did anyone notice the automobiles changing color as they were panned by the camera? It seems to me to be a great example of how sunlight and angle makes colors shift. I saw gray autos changing to yellow and greenish. The number of autos that shift to a purple color is remarkable. Jerry Michels |

The person who posted the video said it was colorized, the cars color shifting is probably just a glitch of the colorization process. Video Restoration Process: ✔ FPS boosted to 60 frames per second ✔ Image resolution boosted up to HD ✔ Improved video sharpness and brightness ✔ Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate) ✔sound design added only for the ambiance ✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur) "Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data" |

Several such amazing videos are on YouTube featuring varied time periods and locations, often with railroads & trolleys, including others shot in Southern California.
Did anyone else notice that on this particular film the street location starts over with a slightly different camera angle? It is apparent if one looks for certain landmarks such as the XIBIT-MART near the beginning and again at about 4:30. Note the parked autos are in different positions in relation to the mart’s windows so multiple two trips were made, not doubt by a professional film maker, as opposed to a home movie.

I recall that in the late 50s, the dark colored 40s cars had faded to an iridescent look, depending on viewer vs Sun angle.
