SOUTHERN PACIFIC SUGAR BEET STORY

A great chapter from our movie "YOUR COLORFUL SOUTHERN PACIFIC" www.cspmovies.com Here is a long chapter on the origin and processing of SP's Sugar Beet Trains! This was the SP at work, including never before seen Sugar Beet footage and Carrizo Gorge! The last 30 minutes we visit the Imperial Valley lines to remember the Sugar Beet trains of the SP. Learn how the beet cars were loaded and follow the beets to Betteravia, where they were processed at the Holly sugar plant. Beet trains handed off to the SMV Railroad at Guadalupe, CA are covered from the 1970s and 1992. And don’t miss an unbelievable cab ride and ride on an empty flat car thru the SP-owned Carrizo Gorge line just before hurricane Kathleen closed it to through traffic in 1976.
