Comments on: Video of Snow Downtown You Won’t See on Television http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/2009/12/24/video-of-snow-downtown-you-wont-see-on-television/ The Oklahoman's Steve Lackmeyer covers downtown OKC brick by brick. Fri, 24 May 2013 12:30:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Braden http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/2009/12/24/video-of-snow-downtown-you-wont-see-on-television/comment-page-1/#comment-5969 Braden Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:26:51 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/?p=2991#comment-5969 My favorite point in the film was at 55 seconds to 1 minute. You could see the electrical lines crisscrossing each other at the intersections where the interurban/trolley lines were. And I agree with Mike Morgan about the steam trains, that is pretty cool. At 1 minute 20 seconds, is that the Candy Factory that that train is pulling past? If so that’s definitely Santa Fe, but at 1 minute 58 seconds that’s a shot taken to the west of the Skirvin looking east toward Bricktown. This steam train was either on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific line or the Union Pacific line.

Cool video Steve!

Yes, your wife is right….I have watched your posted clip about 15 times already this morning…..Machine-wise, there are not too many cooler things that a mainline steam locomotive, pulling a load, on a cold winter day! Your clip does a very nice job highlighting just that…..I count at least 5 engines on the Santa Fe mainline. The film even appears to focus on this. There are no diesel engines….MOST EXCELLENT!!

The film is from the Oklahoma Historical Society – we simply edited it and put some background music to it. Feel free to rip a copy off of You Tube for your own collection.

The film is from OHS archives, Doug. Just one of several goodies we have coming out at http://www.okchistory.com (you can see all of our videos on our YouTube channel or at http://www.okchistory.com.
And Merry Christmas Mike – you nailed the forecast this week. Appreciate how you went through why it was so unpredictable on Christmas Eve.
We’ve got a four-foot snow drift in front of our garage door. Needless to say, our kids are thrilled.

Mike Morgan here…..I just wanted to say that, not only was that video clip great, but the shot of the steam engine pulling into Sante Fe station absolutely made my skin crawl…..I kinda, no really, like steam engines….and that shot is a REAL beauty!! Thanks for the wonderful Christmas present!!
Mike

What will Downtown look like tomorrow?
