The F-7 units in their red warbonnet paint scheme weren't the star of this video, but you gave them enough footage for me to enjoy it. I did enjoy the entire show but, I wanted to see mostly the F-units. They're gorgeous in that famous (and beloved) red warbonnet paint scheme. ❤❤❤

Shorter trains, cabooses and no graffiti! A very different era. It's good it was recorded for posterity.

I think the majority of the footage was from the 1970s but still a cool video.

Only Santa Fe's passenger B units had steam boilers--the A units did not. In contrast, all of Canadian Pacific F units-frt and psgr-had boilers.

I find it weird that SP would build a new track alongside the ATSF instated of co-operating to build and use a double track line, especially in light of those merger proposals . . .

The SP built the "Palmdale cutoff" way before in 1967. SP was trying to merge with the WP earlier in the 1960s. And the Santa Fe was pissed at SP!

The Santa Fe paid 80 percent of the track maintenance costs between Mojave and Kern Jct.

17:00 That rotating headlight on the F7 is a "Mars" light. They were primarily made for the Railroad Locomotive and Fire Fighting industries.

They need to bring back passenger trains. With all of the 18 wheelers using them, the Interstates are becoming increasingly undrivable by passenger cars.

Usually, that a "Second Section" is following of the same train number.
