Thanks for the reminder about this video, which it is great to see again. The videographer/cameraman seems to be unknown, but the YouTube notes say it was filmed from a helicopter by a KNBC news crew. Judging by the the passengers’ clothes and the 8444 gray livery I’d guess this was filmed in the late 80s, which is what the notes suggest. There’s a later pair of videos (2007) of 4449 and 844 (black livery) double headed somewhere in California: I wondered where they got the SP passenger cars for the short consist in the first video. Can’t work that out but most of the preserved SP passenger cars appear to be with the Niles Canyon Railway or elsewhere in California: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_preserved_Southern_Pacific_Railroad_rolling_stock#Preserved_passenger_cars |

Here's a classic, the opening of the LA Union Station opening celebration 1939. Also didn't know you could run engines on Trolley trackage. Some great engine shots.
