  • Back in July of 1992 I spent a couple of days video taping the "classic" Santa Fe in the area around Flagstaff, AZ. Bluebonnets and Warbonnets galore! No orange in this video. :)
    Locations include:
    Bellemont.
    Williams Junction.
    Old Route 66 Overpass East Of Flagstaff.
    Winona.
    Maine.
    All video originally shot on 8mm tape with a Sony camcorder.

    ahh the good old days. I used to spend a lot of hours hanging around the amtrak station there and I loved seeing the Santa Fe trains speed through every 10 minutes or so. Thanks for the video

    I loved the Santa Fe Railroad, it went through my home town, The Super Chief and everything! My great uncle ran the steamers back in "the day" from Newton Kansas!

    NICE L-O-N-G Vid!! Good to know that SOMEONE was filming in 1992! Who could have imagined just a few years later the LEGEND, ATSF SANTA FE would become a "Fallen Flag", UNTHINKABLE!!! I'm grateful for this video!! I only WISH it could have been 16mm Film, or the DIGITAL Camera's of TODAY! But I'm just HAPPY this video EXISTS!! THANK YOU!!

    I like this quality it is like brighter than normal coloring and grainy picture is like a dreamlike state.

    From what I've seen, Santa Fe really liked moving Elephant style.

      I traveled up and down this line during the 1940s and 1950s with the ole Baldwin Steamers.

    That area is so scenic with the pines..not something known by southwest and mid west rail scenes of Santa Fe. Picturing desert and grain fields then beautiful pines. Such a great route for the now Amtrak Southwest Chief. And of course the AT&SF. Nice video thanks

    Love It...!!! I grew up next to the Ft. Worth sub. main & can still remember when the first GP60M's & B40-8W's started showing up. they were sleek, shiny, & fast. To a 10 year old boy they were the focus of my summer. Other than the very rare FP45 (only 7 of the 9 left at that point) they were the first war-bonnets I'd ever seen. Great Times..!!

    Never really thought about how many 4 axle units were in service on class 1 railroads back then. I spent most my young man years train watching. Today, everything is 6 axles, unless you are in a yard.

    Railroading changes, but the Old 66 Overpass is still one my favorite train watching spots.

    Awesome footage!! This is back when EMD was still in charge and locomotives still belched smoke. And every locomotive wasn’t the same color!

    Great 90s videos! Awesome variety before the constant stream and mind-numbing AC44s! The "blue bonnet" SD40-2 is still one of the most beautiful engines you will find!

    I wish all my old videos were of a higher quality, but I'm happy with what I did capture. So much is gone now. :( Back in the early 1990's I purchased that Sony camcorder for around $600 and that was about as cheap as a 8mm video recorder came in those days. I have HD video equipment now, and I'm trying to capture as much remaining "old stuff" as I can. BTW, I just found some old VHS tapes I shot in the 80's, they're worse than the 8mm tape. :)

    Consists like these are why I gave up the railfan hobby. I got sick and tired of seeing nothing but widecab GEs on every single train. I was spoiled by good stuff like this!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's ATSF 96 at 29:37, then that's one of the locomotives that wrecked in 1994 in the Cajon Pass.

  • @PunkyBear36
    @PunkyBear36 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The train at 27:08 is probably the Barstow-Houston plastic chemical train, the only freight important enough to warrant Intermodal engines.
