Otto Perry's Santa Fe

[@johndavies9270]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I've known of Otto Perry for years through American railroad books, but never seen the films. Oh for a time machine...........

[@irfanqadir3840]

Although there are modern locomotives seen in this video but the steam locomotives in this video has a glorious entry superb fabulous marvellous nice video with 100 over 100 marks for such a great filming

When I was a kid, we were crossing the tracks in a prairie area in western Kansas and an eastbound streamliner almost got me. It was an Alco PA set leading an eastbound passenger train at speed. The Alco's were really quiet compared to the EMDs. The engineer had to get on his horn to get our attention.

[@normansilver905]

Thank you Rocky Mountain RC for sharing. Great memories too.

[@deniscatsanddogsloveschall5646]

I want the Santa Fe trains back!

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

What’s the holdup?

[@charleyw1946]

If you own the DVD you will notice that the disclaimer at the beginning states that the audio is for entertainment purposes only. That said dozens of separate sound clips were used to produce this video.

[@АндрейГлушко-ц1л]

Thank's for video, the sound is awesome.

[@thomasavensjr.2790]

The Santa Fe rr definitely had some incredible steam power for their steam era engine roster, I like the Hudson 4-6-4, Northern 4-8-4, and the Texas 2-10-4 type locomotives as my 3 favorite classes of steam power.

[@kurtarmbruster]

Bless Otto, man he sure got the goods! Surprising to me to see the sizable consists ATSF ran on the Denver line. Thanks for posting these priceless images!

[@nkproad777]

Looked it up, and the "Blue Goose" was a streamlined 3460 class 4-6-4 hudson, and the 3461 set a world record for a steam engine with a 2227 mile run from LA to Chicago without maintence (only fuel). It's train was a fast mail express.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

This video is awesome! I like the Santa Fe northerns!

[@yankinga]

Engine at 1:40 is misidentified as "4-8-4 Southbound". 3742 pictured here was a 3700 class 4-8-2 Mountain type. 4-8-4s were numbered 3751-3785 and 2900-2929 BTW: 4-8-4s on the AT&SF were officially designated as "Modified Mountain Type". Similarly, 4-6-4's were designated as "Modified Pacific Type".

The Glory Days of Santa Fe Steam 🚂

[@dennis-ul5ht]

The 2900 and 5011 steam classes would not have been built other than the fact that diesel production was limited during WWII...as a matter of fact, the ATSF was one of the first railroads to go "whole hog" on the FT diesel...

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Raton Pass was way busier back then!

[@FabioSilva-mt9wr]

ATSF steam & diesel

[@RickyJr46]

Magnificent!

[@rustedrailsmokes]

wish I could buy a longer version of Otto's work.

[@matthewwood1011]

otto perry from railroads east and west steam locomotives and diesel locomotives and electric locomotives

[@michaelXXLF]

People took along a reel to reel tape recorder when filming back then. The sound is in fact dubbed now in but that was the only way to have sound and picture. m

[@charleyw1946]

The website address to order the DVD is at the end of the video

[@sakcad]

Didn't anybody film SAnta Fe's Blue Goose. ? That was a high speed passenger locomotive from what I hear.

[@The3751FAN]

i love 2910's whistle at 4:29

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

4:29

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

Otto, if it’s spelled forward, or backwards it’s still cool 😎

[@stickdog100]

If i'm not mistaken, 2910 was a member of the 2900 class of locomotives built by baldwin.

[@colinanderson3490]

Santa Fe's 2-10-4s are not Texas but the Modified Santa Fe.

[@TG-cf6qb]

4:29 WOOH *whistles* WOOH HERE COMES 3751!!!!!!!!!!

[@FabioSilva-mt9wr]

ATSF 1940s & 1950s

[@adam62060]

Is this the complete film? Where's the Blue Goose? Hard to find it on film. We've found a couple clips.

[@russellbrown7028]

The early diesels were cleaner than steam but just as noisy.

[@mdamttc199]

They surely dubbed the sounds in.

[@quasimoto7662]

4:29 that's 5017, a surviving Texas class engine

[@stevew270]

The caption said it was 4-8-4 #2910

[@7kslair153]

I think he meant the one before 2910.

[@SPNGLovato18]

Torrent7k yeah

[@overpoweredsteamproduction513]

Steve W he meant the one before

[@jacksalvin364]

4:14

[@joshmeister4449]

the sounds are all dubbed

[@09JDCTrainMan]

Pause at 4:11, the number looks like 5028.

[@SmithsMuseum]

Aren't there AI that can colorize stuff?

[@robertgift]

Thank you, RMRRC. Wish Otto had _followed_ the locomotives as they passed by. Just when locomotive is closest and greatest detail visible, it continues out of the frame. Is more footage actually of railcars than engines? Videographers: Please film black steam locomotives from the SUNNY side and FOLLOW THEM. Cease the "Hollywood" technique of subjects passing out of frame.

[@johnkristincarmody65]

Going to respectfully disagree, folks gotta see the consist.

[@robertgift]

Kristin Carmody You can see hundreds of all kinds of railcars every day. Nothing special. The locomotive is special. Just when closest and greatest detail is seen, it continues out of frame. Follow the locomotive. Then railcars can be filmed - if you want to wastexpen$ive film on them.

[@struck2soon]

I own a copy of this video, and whilst the footage is ok the sound dubbing is absolutely terrible. About six different sound tracks have been repeatedly used, regardless of loco speed. It makes frustrating viewing. Not recommended.

[@charleswhitcomb4470]

The speed was matched to theof the sound source and there were dozens of clips used. If you don't know what you are talking about you should not comment. Of the thousands of people who have purchased and watch this video you are the only one to think it could be done better.

[@struck2soon]

+Charles Whitcomb , I certainly DO know what I am talking about when it comes to steam locomotives. You on the other hand obviously don't, otherwise you would agree with me. Otto Perry would turn in his grave if he could see what a mess was made of dubbing his good footage. Try watching it with your ears open!

[@TakeMeToChurchill]

Yeah you're right on that. It's not nearly close to being synced with the drivers. Sigh. 'Least the footage is nice.

[@struck2soon]

+Joey Ferrito , thanks very much, a small voice of reason in a wilderness of ignorance!

[@davidmorgan2299]

you must have a cushy damn life if audio of steam engines not matching in a video is enough to set you off.

[@jppicur]

Leave it alone. Cockroach is just begging for attention. Ignore him and he'll scuttle away.
