To quote Model Railroad News, “I can’t think of a better way to spend an hour and a half...”
This is one chapter of our lengthy DVD video. This full video is available at cspmovies.com
The video is item D-129.
This is Tehachapi, Cajon Pass, the Los Angeles Area and the Bay Area at its best. The Needles Subdivision and Stockton Junction round out the action in this tribute to the Santa Fe’s various generations of the “Warbonnets”.
To quote Railfan & Railroad magazine, “This prolific producer, specializing in high-quality, well researched and narrated, mostly vintage movie programs of operations mostly in the Golden State has brought back to life the evolution of Santa Fe diesel motive power… Fans of the Santa Fe’s classic diesel era and the various incarnation of its locomotive paint schemes should find this program to be enjoyable, and likely required viewing.

I worked for ATSF at Richmond Ca. for seven years. Starting in 1979. Started out as a carmen and transferred to the roundhouse as a machinist. It was a pretty good job but I was young and wanted to become a police officer. I quit and never looked back. No regrets. There is still no sweeter sound than a locomotive in run eight.

Much respect to all law enforcement. Just curious if still in LE, still happy with that choice now?

Always a treat to watch these vintage rail films. Kudos again for posting them. Amazing to see the power used and also the early days of covered car racks and the IM containers. Alcos always smoke like crazy. They would be banned today...lol

Great videos. I miss the lash-ups of various models of units that lower horsepower units necessitated. Nothing like a lashup of various covered wagons, Geeps and SD's, U-boats and Alco C's that now can be achieved with 2-3 AC units.

My grandfather worked out of the main office when it was on Michigan Ave in Chicago. People don’t know that Santa Fe created the concept of ‘piggy- back’, which is the idea creating the container. The lift system the removes containers from the rail car and affixes it to the chassis was also created by Santa Fe.

Back in 1979, ATSF did a long term lease of Chessie power. (Did you see the blue B&O loco?) About 30 locos were sent and ATSF even renumbered the locos by adding a 7 in place of the original lead number. However, ATSF was required to renumber them back(to original number) when sent back. ATSF did a lousy job of renumbering. They simply painted the ATSF serif number in place of the Chessie number. I saw several of these odd looking Chessie locos running on Chessie.

SD38-2s on SP! I never knew!

@charlessmileyvideos 7 месяцев назад

They are a rare EMD model for sure, we think SP only had 4 or 5 of them in their 5000 series! Used in hump service in Englewood, Texas and West Colton, CA!
