Thank you for posting these great memories. I sure do miss seeing the Warbonnets and signal bridges! Santa Fe is one of my favorites!

Yellowbonnets are my favorite. I like the Illinois clips since I grew up in the flight path of runway 4 of Midway airport. I also like the sound of the railroad crossing bells. They tell me something wonderful is about to happen.

I live on the Chili Sub in Streator went railfanning multiple times just south of here in Ancona where seeing 70 MPH was nothing.

Man! Imagine catching one of those freight trains in 2018!

ha! I completely forgot about those blinkers on top of the P42s. Childhood memory of looking to the north at Mayfair waiting for the Builder.

Nice variety of trains back then. Now it's probably 95% double stacks, very boring. I used to go to Ft. Madison once a year to railfan, but very seldom now if at all. More of a variety for road power back then too, instead of all the boring orange GE's.

As much as the railfans love the Santa Fe, it's much busier now than it ever was during Santa Fe.

I like the exhaust sound of the GEs but I also like hearing the turbos on the EMDs

@ericsundell9978 5 жыл бұрын

What date was this around? I'm guessing late 90's?

What type of horn at 12:08?

@christophercarey3232 5 жыл бұрын

Airchime K3LA. EMD GP60s, both standard and Widecab, had this horn, while GEs had the RS3Ls.

This is an awesome video! Is the SP train near the beginning running on Santa Fe using trackage rights?

@RailroadMediaArchive 6 жыл бұрын

Yes.

SP ran on the Transcon ?

@RailroadMediaArchive 6 жыл бұрын

As a result of the BNSF merger in 1995, SP was granted limited trackage rights between Kansas City and Chicago for certain stack trains.

@scoobycarr5558 6 жыл бұрын

As part of the operating agreement brought on by the demise of the Rock Island, the Southern Pacific operated over the Santa Fe between Kansas City and Chicago. West of Kansas City, the SP operated over the former RI's Golden State Route through Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico after the RI announced its shutdown in March 1980. It's the same kind of operation under Union Pacific in today's modern era, and the UP has operation between El Paso and Chicago over the Golden State Route.

Conrail ?

What about Conrail?

The manifest at Chillicothe with all Conrail power was prob one of those run-through Conrail trains from Elkhart, IN. They had a few that ran joint, back and forth, with Santa Fe for Kansas City, Barstow and Fresno, back then. The Intermodal at Ft. Madison with the Conrail SD40-2 was prob a simple engine in pool and got in the mix.
