Man I wish trains still looked like this. So sleek. So colorful.

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

The modern diesels are probably built more boxy so that they are easier to mass produce and rebuild and repair after accidents.

The E's and F's are the most handsome faced diesel locomotives ever built, IMO. Especially that Burlington Route E5, holy smokes!! Clad in stainless steel with that angled nose, takes my breath away every time.

[@dennisa1692]

Absolutely right! It just screams "look at me" I am the REAL streamliner and don't you forget it! Used to run my legs off down to the 3 track mainline in Hinsdale, Il, to watch the Zephyr's fly by and I do mean fly! Great memories!

[@robertpoudrette4483]

Outstanding! What a beautifully shot and well-compiled video showing the early years of the locomotive. It's amazing that these have all been preserved and looking pristine. Using the turntable was like the railroad version of a cat-walk.

It doesn't get much better than that. Glad you enjoyed

What a fantastic collection of operational diesels from all the manufacturers. The sound of the FL9 brought back great memories.

So many classic roads represented with fabulous livery. Hats off to all who worked to make this happen, and document and upload!

I always liked the Alco carbody models better. The Nickel Plate 190 (Alco PA) is one of my all time favorites, partly due to its history. It never powered a Nickel Plate route AFAIK.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

It’s a Santa Fe PA.

[@RobbieSongwriter]

Didn't know there were any Alco PAs left. Unforgetable, as a little kid, hearing the whine of those engines out of the station 3 blocks north past my grandma's house (about 75' from the tracks). E units were OK, but that long hood in Santa Fe warbonnet and the sound of them accelerating was just AWESOME. A-B or A-B-A on the way to San Diego. Thanks for this. UNFORGETABLE: Late in the Korean War, about 2AM, I was awoke by the the RARE sound of a loud steam whistles, and looked out the window in awe, as 3 HUGE Santa Fe steam engines roared by, hauling a military train bound for San Diego - endless flat cars loaded with tanks, cannons, and other military vehicles, plus box cars, I assume, that were laden with ammo/small arms. Another helper was cut in 3/4 back in the LONG consist. I was only 5+, but I think they were 2-10-4s. Then, very close behind, came the blair of the horns from 4 ALCO PA/PB units hauling a long troop train of old heavy weight passenger cars. Don't know how I ever got back to sleep.

Wow!!! After watching this fabulous video of stunning diesel-electric locomotives, I feel so happy and grateful that I am the proud owner of three Overland Models HO scale brass F-unit A-B-A trainsets and 1 factory painted HO brass F-unit A-B trainset, also from Overland Models. Someday, I'll get, at least, one of the 3 F-unit A-B-A trainsets painted. Not all of the them. The painted F-unit trainset in the A-B formation is adorned in the famous AT&SF red and silver warbonnet paint scheme and looks absolutely beautiful. I plan to add more HO brass F-units, from Overland Models, to my growing HO scale brass engine and rolling stock collection. 😊 I truly enjoyed this video, and I will watch it again and again and again. 👏😁 I also want to add, your cinematography is excellent! 👍 📽️ 📸

[@Hendo56]

The way to go is with Dynamo! I really like the N&W 611, but here she seemed out of place, since the emphasis was on Diesel Streamliners...

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

I was glad it was there, since an event called Streamliners, meaning "passenger trains" would be incomplete without an example of a streamlined steam engine. I was worried that 611 would end up hogging the spotlight meant for diesels, but it was thankfully downplayed

[@Hendo56]

It would not have been if it had been steamed up! Guess I'm one of those "obsessive types" that likes to group things in minute categories- Steam Streamliners, Electric Streamliners, Diesel Streamliners. Drive myself crazy sometimes.

[@308RoadReady]

The streamliners started and got their fame with steam locos with great shrouding. The diesels just inherited those name trains and since streamlining was a hot thing they obviously needed to be to be considered fit to pull passenger trains at the time.

[@mosaic6225]

I thought the first streamliner was a diesel? The Zephyrs?

[@jameshaxby5434]

Earlier I posted the question of why the old locomotives had portholes in them. At first I thought loco's had extra rooms in them, which they don't. But I saw a fillm of the interior of one, and it turns out that they have hallways in them, that are lined with machinery, but for some reason are not lighted. The portholes, it appears, are the only sources of light that allows the crews to operate the engines and generators and such, and well as giving them access to rear doors that many of the old loco's had, far behind the cabs.

[@trainzguy2472]

I know many (if not all) of these locomotives are able to operate under their own power, correct? What about the GM demonstrator FT? Is it in operable condition?

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The FT Demonstrator was not operable at the event, though it was operable about 30 years ago when EMD celebrated its 50th anniversary. Most of the engines were operable, with the exception of the NKP PA, the Reading F unit, the FT Demonstrators (both), and the Lackawanna 663 and 663B.

It really just came down to scheduling. We know the KCS office car units were invited, but KCS had a conflicting event. For Santa Fe, numerous offers were made, but no one was available. It took considerable effort to get the NKP PA to Spencer, so it appears it just didn't come together for a Warbonnet from California or Texas.
