ATSF Transcon 1992 95

Another compendium of shots from the Santa Fe before the BNSF merger, this time from the period 1992 to 95. We begin on the iconic Edelstein Hill in western Illinois, then move westward to Belen, NM to follow the line to the Colorado River bridge at Topock, AZ

Belen, NM is a 1,000 mile inspection/refuel and crew change point.

Thanks for having the patience to film these lol. This video is the best ATSF compilation on KZbin. It would be cool if you got someone to remaster the footage.

Wow...back when it was fun. Thanks for sharing!

I like the bridge scene, crossing over the river, at the end of this video.

Long live Santa Fe 😍. Love trains.

[@trains5.9]

Seeing those Conrail and Santa Fe trailers on the piggyback trains really shows how it was back then! Appears that Alliance Shippers’ logo is still virtually the same!

[@joelkirchner8476]

More great trains were captured in this one.

[@iusetano]

Excellent video. Thank you for uploading.

[@paulwiden4061]

Great video- thanks for the panoramas. There is only one Santa Fe and it does not start with a B!

[@scoobycarr5558]

Yeah and BNSF doesn't run coal trains over the old Santa Fe like the Santa Fe used to do over its Transcon.

[@waynehawkins2157]

I love the vido excellent signature of the SANTA FE thank you.

There's the Santa Fe,then all the rest in my book.

[@scoobycarr5558]

Bring back the Santa Fe! BNSF if you are listening, at least bring out your own heritage fleet of locomotives that includes the Santa Fe. Just like Union Pacific with its "CNW" and "Southern Pacific" heritage units and Norfolk Southern with its "New York Central" and "Pennsylvania Railroad" heritage units!

[@TheSantaFeGuy]

Santa Fe,all the way!

[@scoobycarr5558]

No railroad proudly carried itself better through ads and the billboard than the Santa Fe. Even toward the end of its existence when Day One of BNSF came, the Santa Fe still had "Super Shock Control" on much of its fleet of boxcars as a way to advertise to the shippers.

[@trainknut]

Personally I prefer ATSF to BNSF.

[@ryanfrogz]

What happened to the bridge over Belen yard?

[@waynehawkins2157]

Love the show

[@masonkalnins7644]

I got a question. I know at 0:46 was the southwest chief, after the merger the chief switched to the Burlington Northern at cameron on a connector, do you have any footage of a train ride on the chief through that area? From Mason Kalnins

[@fmnut]

Sorry, no.

[@masonkalnins7644]

@@fmnut Okay. Well, great video, brings back memories and I'm a fan of your videos from the 80's and early 90's. They bring back lots of memories. Thanks again, fmnut. From Mason Kalnins

[@privateerbouncher9622]
