The crossing today is virtually the same as seen here. Only changes are the bells shown here, which were replaced with electronic ones in 2015. The A Frame “Wishbone” gate arms have also since been replaced. Recently, the closer signal’s far left light was hit by a truck or car and has been MIA. I have recorded this crossing on my channel

Love seeing the blue & yellow still working hard.

This and 1MTSRider are the best sources of this generation of railfanning one can find that isn't the Trona Railway.

Oddly enough a GP40X was the second HO scale Locomotive I ever got. The flared radiators make them look so unique compared to all the other GPs. Great catch!

When these engines were new, a few engineers told me that they were told that these would replace the SD9's. SP bought them really heavy. The first order SD40's were 393,800 lbs. The first order of SD39's were 416,600 lbs and the second order, 5318-5325 were 409,900 lbs., crazy.

Are you taking customers? I have a raised letter k5 that could use your magic..

Great quality video for the time wow. This brings me back to being 10 again. The datsun looks almost new!

WOW !! Just WOW!!! SD - 40 - T - 2, SD - 40 , SD - 40 -T - 2 , SD -45, SD - 45 , SD - 45 - T - 2 , SD - 45 Your MID train power is SD -45 -T - 2, SD - 45 -T - 2, SD - 45, SD - 45, SD - 40 - T - 2. WOW !!! GREAT CATCH !!!

A 4-PIECE 89FT FLATBED-

Isn't that the kind of horn they put on the Fairbanks Morse h24-66?

I used to work there 1977-2012. Brings back a lot of memories good and bad. Thank you for your video.

Southern Pacific was a huge part of my childhood. My father worked for SP and one of his jobs was to run in front of the train opening 3 trestles .I was able to ride on the engines and a few caboose many times

My friend saw the plume in Superior, Arizona this evening. Superior is over an hour east of Phoenix. The plume in her picture looked exactly like the plume right at the end of your clip. That thing was truckin'! 👍

Toy activities

Great video on BNSF Railroad history on Santa Fe Railroad main line trains friends hope you have great Saturday day friend's

I absolutely love this video! No graffiti, no DPUs, no yellow or orange safety vests... Just pure SP gray with a bloody nose.

Sweet video

Great video friend The locomotive SF30C 9537 was sold some time ago here in Brazil and was modified for the BB bogie, thus SF30BB, it belonged to the company EFVM, now it belongs to the company VL! See her video here in Brazil ua-cam.com/users/shortsXBexO6aSIsM?si=oGVScHrsTeTdrqk9

Excelente trabajo.yo estoy fundiendo bocinas desde cero quisiera que vea mi canal y opine se lo agradezco buen día y gracias

Idk how many times, sitting in the newhall tunnel and this train came thru! Yes, it got smokey in there...

Wow! Great footage for the time. I love the SP. The old EMD SD40-2. I grew up with them. I still think the low nose design was the best looking locomotive ever made. GP38’s were a great shorter version with only two-axle trucks. These things dominated the railroads from the 70’s through the early 90’s and this video brought back vivid memories from that time. Thank you. 😊

Thank you, thank you. This is the best audio sound I have heard here on UA-cam of my generation of railfanning. The big 20 cylinder EMD whining/howling, and staccato bark/razor sharp exhaust of the GE combined working together. This was the sound I grew up to in railfanning, late 70s to early, early 90s. One of the best eras of railroading ever, the other was the steam era. Today's boring/lifeless crap can't compare. It was more than sound, even like this video . . . it was feeling it too. This video captures that awesome sound. Thank you again for sharing.

I didn’t know Southern Pacific was still going in 1993! Last time I saw one was back in the 80’s! Nice to see this video! I saw them ALL the time as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s! Nice video!

You making a raised letter sound good?

13:10 7611 spotted with full light package

6:10 SP 8276 spotted with full light package

A great spot I know well through the years and got UP 1996 and 4014 at the same spot. Cool action on the vid and amazing Gyralite action that late in the game! SP 4801 in this video was one I got photos of many times through the years.

This turns 33 years old tommorow.

Best show on earth!!!! Not many things can even come close to this... boy am i glad i witnessed it live at least once... although that was not nearly enough 🤦 I also vividly remember seeing a nearly 120 car loaded coal train with 5 or so six axles on the lead and 5 cut in and 5 bringing up the rear at 3ish Am crawling over the loop too bad that couldn't have been captured on film.

Awesome stuff. Dolores and ICTF almost made sitting in traffic on the 405 tolerable (and the blimp helped too).

Old kodachrome paint job for the failed Santa Fe merger ,i forgot about that

Ahh, back when watching trains was actually interesting. Best 7 minutes I have seen in a very long time. Thanks!

Wow! Still running? Southern Pacific! I love watching them go through my hometown when I was kid/ teenager! 50 + years ago!

CA. frowns on dirty EMD two-strokes. Their yrs are numbered but it was an eighty yr run.

At first when I saw the thumbnail I thought that was 7551 but then I saw it was filmed in '92

Great video. Thanks for preserving early 90's SP history for future railfainners.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. I used to see this very train 32 years ago when I worked along the Wilmington Subdivision in LA. I used to wonder why all the tank cars were connected the way they were.. I remember telling a UP hump yard employee about this train about 20 years ago and he looked at me like I was crazy. It was only 2 years ago did I learn it was one-of-a-kind train called the Oil Cans.

Thanks for posting this video. I appreciate the history.

Ah, the pre-graffiti railroading era

I can fully relate, i used to do this exact same thing as you. Riding switch engines, locals, freights, and even some passenger trains with a friendly engineer who took me on board in the late 90's in Turku, Finland. Best summer vacations i ever spent, i was a kid back then. Got to operate a switcher several times too. Too bad i only had a basic film camera and all the pictures have since been lost.

Dammmit those were the best days of railfanning..❤😢

15:20 what in the blown turbo and head gaskets is this

I like the vintage video. I noticed that graphiti hadn't been invented yet since none of the cars had any, and that they regularly used four axle locomotives on long haul trains, which they don't do today. And that each of today's ES44AC loco's have twice the tractive effort of the SD40's and thus they can use 4+2 units instead of 6+6.

NIIIIIIICE ! WOW! 7 - 6 axle units on the point!

Very aggravating. I hope chemists are working on paint that spray paint won't stick to. Nice looking and sounding units, otherwise.

They ran out of room on the auto racks, You could see this coming
