Another Quality Production from TSG Multimedia

Building on the experience of our Caltrain 2005 video, for our next project we wanted to do something that hadn't been done before. We chose to document the Altamont Commuter Express, or ACE, which carries approximately 1,400 passengers each day from San Joaquin Valley to Silicon Valley and back. Though the focus is on ACE, there is plenty of footage of other trains including Union Pacific and BNSF. This video is just under two hours in total length and includes two bonus chapters plus a still photo library.

Though not as well known as Tehachapi or Donner, Altamont Pass offers some very scenic mountain railroading. In addition to Altamont, the video shows trains running through wooded Niles Canyon and along the water near Alviso. We consulted with local historian Henry Bender to provide information on historic depots along the line, and included vintage still photos to show some of the locations ACE serves as they once were.

While primarily intended for railfans, there is enough information in this video to appeal to anyone with an interest in trains, rail travel, public transit, or the local history of the Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, and Union Pacific.

" TSG Multimedia has truly created an interesting video capturing the true essence of the Altamont Commuter Express, and the beautiful scenery it traverses each day, as it transports busy silicon valley executives, working class commuters and the occasional traveler alike each day. "
