Otto Perry's Santa Fe

The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club opens their archives to show you the works of Otto Perry, noted rail photographer of the Rocky Mountain Region. Enjoy long gone Santa Fe passenger trains pulled by mighty steam locomotives and classic diesel types including an Santa Fe-1, FTs, F3s, & PA-2s. All of these diesels are in Warbonnet colors. The Super Chief, the Chief, the El Capitan, the Scout, the Grand Canyon, and the Centennial State trains are featured. Giant wartime 2-8-8-2 steam locomotives are seen in rare scenes on Raton Pass. There's also plenty of classic Santa Fe steam and diesel locomotives powering freight trains to watch and enjoy.

Looked it up, and the "Blue Goose" was a streamlined 3460 class 4-6-4 hudson, and the 3461 set a world record for a steam engine with a 2227 mile run from LA to Chicago without maintence (only fuel). It's train was a fast mail express.

People took along a reel to reel tape recorder when filming back then. The sound is in fact dubbed now in but that was the only way to have sound and picture.
