[ConrailSD70MAC]

at 1:04, isnt the first dome on that Burlington train one of the original dome cars built by Budd for GM's Train of Tomorrow?

[cvgeeps]

I have this DVD I watch it often, 5 STARZ You youngsters get to see America when it was COOL prices were affordable and people were working for good company's and oh yea the Cold War but we made it.

@cvgeeps i am 13 and i luv the old times what a shame i didnt live in those times :'(

[Masinfira1]

Luv the F7 Santa Fe trains !

[RockIslandLine513]

Great, but where are the Rock Island Trains?

[trainboy437]

Where's the Santa Fe locomotives?

[toddinde]

Beautiful films. A couple of small corrections though. That is not the Morning Hiawatha. Likely, it is the Varsity or Sioux from Madison. The C&NW equipment move is not the Penninsula 400. It is the Rochester 400. Not trying to be smart aleck. Great films!

[Zillion43]

Like the music, Classy!

[LS1Heli]

1:17 holy crap! Is that downtown Lemont?

[K4JW]

[mb1145332]

@K4JW

The unit is a GE U30CG; the Santa Fe had six of them, the only six ever made.

[sUpErShIeFbOy]

Your videos are truly outstanding!  And the jazz that is just a "cherry" on the top! Way to go, man. These make me wish I could go back in time. Certainly better times! Thanks for sharing these!

[atreewithnolife]

[Cristianoefc]

Just AWESOME to see the railroads at the golden times!!!

[BNforever2009]

this is so cool. I was 5 years old in 1968!!!! I remember the post BN merger and seeing all the different cars from CB&Q, NP, and GN speeding by on the Empire Builder and North Coast Ltd. This was on the west side at St Louis Ave and Cermak Rd.

[rleclare]

The locomotive at 1.25 is a GE U30CG passenger engine.

[HaydenFSX]

thanks,yeah i thought it was a GE the way the fuel tank was But i didnt know it was a u-boat

Hayden

[HaydenFSX]

Whats the Locomotive at 1:25 never seen it before

[HaydenFSX]

Wait but whats a pass loco doing leading a intermodial frieght?

[NebraskasWallpaper]

Wow, what a difference in the skyline today! Here the Tribune Tower and Wrigley building dominate whereas now you can hardly see them except up close. This must have been in the days before RTA when individual railroads ran commuter service in Chicago.

[mbwolf61]

It's hard to imagine a more beautiful paint scheme than the GM&O.

[revolp69]

HA I REMEMBER IN THE MID 70'S.. being a kid and seeing the passenger trains with just one or two cars..it always seemed weird......this is a great video!!

[bigtruck1969]
