Climb aboard Santa Fe's Tulsan as we go to Kansas City in 1970. You'll see a ride on now abandoned track and the scrapyards full of cars plus lots of vintage stuff as we go by Argentine. the SF Chief and Grand Canyon are waiting on us at KCUD. Some real goodies here!

  • I'm enjoying your videos a lot. At 4:25, can you concur that the locomotive on the point is 5943? It may also be 5945. Both survive today at Wichita and Barstow respectively.

  • It is 5945. I confirmed it by my notes from that day. Glad you like the videos. Keep watching.

  • Yep. Somewhere just north of Chanute.

  • Great footage of classic trains getting people & freight were they need to go!

  • I meant the aura of the Santa Fe, and all its passenger trains. I collect old timetables, and see their schedules of the 40's, 50's and 60's. For example, they ran the Super Chief between Chicago and LA in 39 and three quarter hours. Amtrak takes a lot longer today. I've been places and have seen what remains of their rolling stock, such as a dining car in the California RR museum--what a treat. However, I have nothing against the BNSF--it is an outstanding freight operation!

  • @sweatytoes15 well...they are...but under the BNSF line

  • Santa Fe all the way! Too bad not around today, railroading used to be much more fun and interesting. Great Video, thanks for the memories!

  • This video brings out what I like about Youtube. Vintage movies from someone's closet of time gone bye. Excellent!!

  • My Dad was a Cook on the Santa Fe railline back in 1970. He stayed with them until they sold their passenger service to Amtrak and continued to work with amtrak till 2007. He retired with over 40 years of service!

  • The music is horrible!

  • Very, very good FOOTAGE!! GREAT JOB! Santa Fe All The Way! wow, The Grand Canyon!

  • The vid AND music is awesome. Forget the pinheads that can't deal with the music.  They haven't a clue.

  • The scene@1:47 is awesome!The music is fitting as well.Even a Super C! Sure miss the Santa Fe
