  • why do u keep getting rare trains?

  • I'm ancient. I've been shooting video since 1981, film since 1979.

  • Wheres Palmer Lake?

  • South of Denver on the way to Colorado Springs. About 2 miles northwest of Monument on Route 105.

  • Great camera work and editing! The SP SD45T-2's prove you didn't shoot this video last week. :) What video camera did you use back in 1982?

  • It was an RCA, single tube, vidicon--a VFP-170 I think.

  • i like the SP`s old scheme rather then the 90`s swoosh logo. and i miss the BN engines without them having BNSF crudely patched over the proud name of: Burlington Northern

  • Death to F.R.E.D. !!!! Bring back the caboose!!!

see all

  • @theamtrakvirus Can you make a video of you climbing in them and checking them out because im really interessted

  • @theamtrakvirus Where is this?

  • Are those SATX reporting marks?

  • You should have said in the description: Notice the caboose! LOL

  • i live near old sp tracking thats no longer in use. but not too far from me is some bn e series a and b set (e8 maybe) and a old sp sd9 both just sitting and rusting. its a shame to see them like that. :/

  • Might be a stupid question but where did the Cotton Belt run? Figuring close proximity to SP might explain the similar paint jobs

  • @ The SterlingLoopTroop- Pool power mean to pool power or to share and put together the power to the train from the SP and the BN.

  • WHAT DOES POOL P0WER MEAN?

  • The video quality is great from such vintage film... I take it you were using a camcorder with VHS tape?
