West End Scenes 1955 - 1956 Harold N. Ouye Home Movie Reel 103
This film - captured between 1955-1956 and presented in a full frame scan of the original 70 year old 8mm home movie - shows scenes from Sacramento's West End during the days before redevelopment would change the face of Sacramento forever. We see men milling about and sleeping on the sidewalk; police and fire trucks driving through the neighborhood; street scenes; Tower Bridge; passing trains; the intersection of 4th and L streets; Japantown; people walking; street scenes shot from a car while driving; K Street decorated for Christmas; closed businesses; businesses with "Moving" and "Sale" signs; Taylor's Drug Store; Ouye's Pharmacy; houses; and an official demolition ceremony with speakers (a business behind the ceremony has a sign up that says "You may be next"). There are also shots of newspaper ads and articles about redevelopment, Proposition B, and the West End's demolition.
From the Harold N. Ouye collection (MS195) at the Center for Sacramento History.
The entire Ouye collection can be seen on our Internet Archive page: archive.org/details/cshfilm

    Wow, what memories this brings to mind. I was 7 we lived on Sierra Blvd. just down from the “crooked bridge”…. My dad opened all the windows and doors and had us all go outside. We had a BBQ with the neighbors…. We had a few cracked windows and some cracked plaster in our 75 + year old house. I remember packing my little suitcase with as many stuffed animals as possible…. Crazy times for sure!

    I remember this day quite clearly. We lived in a Citrus Heights, I was nine years old and we started hearing the bombs go off. I remember my dad got a ladder and got up on the roof of the house with binoculars to see what was going on. After he found out it was the Roseville train yard right near the town of Antelope where his friend lived. He got us in the car and decided to head over there to check on him. Yeah, I’m not saying my dad was very bright. Anyway, as we got to Cirby, the police had the roads blocked. They would not let my dad in the area, probably best. So we went home and watched what we could on the news. I heard they found another bomb a few years ago while they were doing some construction.

    I'm from the UK and was 2 yrs and 10 months old when this happened so dont remember it but found out about it through yt ect .....im so glad no one lost thier life in this ! BUT IT IS INTERSTING TO SEE that if you look on google maps in 2024 you can see how since then ANTELOPE HAS EXPANDED as a town .....nothing but green fields either side of the goods yard back then ...now if you look in 2024 its ALL urbanised with houses , buissneses right next to the yard ect ....god forbid if anything like this happened again at the roseville yard as the loss of life would be great and the prperty damage would go into the millions of dollars! ...its no wonder ( even now) they are finding unexploded bombs at the yard when upgrading it that are VERY likely from the 1973 explosion that were missed by being buried in the ground from the explosions BUT not detonating! .....Luckily they know the history of the yard ect so if they find some unexploded ordanace they evacute the entire area now !
