Thank you for Capturing Railroading at its Best years,Really appreciate all your Awesome production and How you Make your Inspiration of All the Railroads a Great Story with Great Train Watching! Best regards Dan Vargas
The F-7 units in their red warbonnet paint scheme weren't the star of this video, but you gave them enough footage for me to enjoy it. I did enjoy the entire show but, I wanted to see mostly the F-units. They're gorgeous in that famous (and beloved) red warbonnet paint scheme. ❤❤❤
I find it weird that SP would build a new track alongside the ATSF instated of co-operating to build and use a double track line, especially in light of those merger proposals . . .
They need to bring back passenger trains. With all of the 18 wheelers using them, the Interstates are becoming increasingly undrivable by passenger cars.

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲
Good video !
Shorter trains, cabooses and no graffiti! A very different era. It's good it was recorded for posterity.
I think the majority of the footage was from the 1970s but still a cool video.
Only Santa Fe's passenger B units had steam boilers--the A units did not. In contrast, all of Canadian Pacific F units-frt and psgr-had boilers.
The Santa Fe paid 80 percent of the track maintenance costs between Mojave and Kern Jct.
They also run more trains through the pass than the Espee
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The SP built the "Palmdale cutoff" way before in 1967. SP was trying to merge with the WP earlier in the 1960s. And the Santa Fe was pissed at SP!

17:00 That rotating headlight on the F7 is a "Mars" light. They were primarily made for the Railroad Locomotive and Fire Fighting industries.
Looks more like a Pyle Gyralight.
24:39 What did the green flag indicate?
Usually, that a "Second Section" is following of the same train number.
