AWESOME!!

[panamcunard]

I am a fan of Santa Fe RR. I grow up not to far from an AT&SF RR crossing, and back in the 80's and early 90's, you could hear those locomotive for miles. These locomotives today, are too quiet.

a 9 engine unit train

[veronicafan2000]

Adjusted for inflation, 1/2 cent a loaf would be around 1/2 of a nickel today. Still, that's pretty cheap.

[tsinoms]

Is it me or was that an ALCO on a coal train!? O_O

[jimmyp42002]

yup. santa fe had there RSD15's assigned to coal drag service as these units where heavy luggers.

[BNforever2009]

The Santa Fe still lives.....on HO scale layouts and in memories. Imagine a modern day Super C intermodal train, 5 GP-60's and 50 TOFC's at 60mph!!! and somewhere in Kansas!!

[IABNSF]

Is that actor Peter Graves narrating the commercials?

These were cool to watch.

[ATSFMike]

I don't know, sounds pretty close though. First time I heard it, I thought It might've been singer Lou Rawls, Wish I knew for sure. Perhaps someone will come up with the correct answer.

Bilingual in Ukrainian Russian; at a time when we still believed the Soviets were out to get us. The ATSF strikes one for Cold War diplomacy.

[mrsooline]

I could swear I saw a Santa Fe TV ad unveiling one of their bicentennial SD45-2's out of the paint shop. Does anyone else remember this or am I just imagining this?

[ATSFMike]

There was one in 1975- I remember it featured on "Today in Agriculture" a weekly news magazine, was hosted by Bill Allison. It made me want a model of one of those SD45-2's before I even knew what that designation meant. (I was eight at the time) I just wanted a decent Santa Fe model, in the worst way! Lol!

[choirboyfromhell]

Bring back the Super C.

[longlivethewtc]

Great to see a woman engineer get recognition. Great ads. I love Santa Fe, I wish they were still a company themselves. Everytime I see a Warbonnet for BNSF, I get nostalgic. Thanks for posting these.

[white93taurusgl]

I wish they would fix up the Warbonnet's that they have. Its sad to see them with the paint all faded and dirty. I wish they would repaint them as Warbonnet's instead of turning them into BNSF pumpkins.

[ATSFMike]

Boy I agree with that 200%! And now, with the pumpkins, they're repainting everything with the new "corporate" logo-something that more aptly belongs on a cheap pair of tennis shoes! I hate that new logo! I not only get nostalgic, but sad every time I drive throughout eastern Fresno County, And now there's hardly a trace of Santa Fe's Visalia Sub. (It was abandoned and sold 15 yrs. ago) . The company who bought all the branches kept the Espee lines- Rickety asHell.. Sad. Mike in Fresno, Ca.

[setxantiquenut]

@ATSFMike I know what you mean about the repaints. To hell with the swoosh logo; the cross logo will ALWAYS mean Santa Fe to me! Like Billy Joel used to say, don't waste your money on a new set of speakers, You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers. Peace out!

[cookiemae]

Cool, a woman engineer in the 70s!

Thats one hell of a woman!

[TexasPacific]

Note the bicentennial loco on the 3rd commercial.

[R160A]

What is it that he said around 5:10? Your what song? More great vids.

[GrizzlyFlats]

I'm pretty sure he said "Your 'Ukrainian Peasant Song.'"

[R160A]

lol

[gamer1682]

I think he was refering to "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe", lol.

[RichardSwayne]

COOL!
