About 1970, my dad and I rode a Santa Fe passenger train from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, and we sat for breakfast in the dining car. My dad, always the jokester, started singing that Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe song when the server asked what we would like to order. I think my dad expected the guy to smile or laugh, but he just stood there stone-faced, holding a pen and his order pad until my dad finished the verse. The guy took the order and then walked away. He had probably heard that song a million times.
Dad & I worked at the San Bernardino shops, he for over 30 years and I the last 5 years before the shops were closed and moved to Topeka. in the later 70s. I grew up watching, traveling and working for the Santa Fe. Any wonder when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was being a Santa Fe Engineer. I think I still do in my dreams. Once you got railroad blood in you, you keep it for life. Got my first taste of working in heavy industry there and appreciating real team work and feeling family on the job. We had family friends & relatives working there. Never thought Santa would merge, being such a strong operation and having a vital railway area. But it came to be and with Burlington Northern, Warren Buffet bought it all. But memories will last forever for helping to develop the west. Santa Fe All The Way.
My top 4 favourite railroads/railway in the world 1.Union pacific 2.Queensland Rail 3.Santa Fe railway 4.British railways 5.Amtrak 6. Southern Pacific 7. Reading Railroad 8.Baltimore and Ohio 9. CSX 10. Norfolk Southern
If Judy Garland saw that The Atchison Topeka And The Santa Fe has been changed to The Burlington The Northern And The Santa Fe she'd probably have a heart attack and die again, But more importantly she'd go "Wow these meds have left an impact on me, cause I'm seeing a lot of Orange!"
It's possible it was recorded specifically for the ad and there is no full version, which is the conclusion I'm leaning towards, but given that someone has managed to find the original audio from the ad, it's possible there might be a version of this out there, possibly on a promotional cassette or record. I tried Shazam, I tried looking up every version of the song I could, nothing.
Do you know if there's a full copy of this version of the song out there somewhere? I can find plenty of the older versions of the song, but not this exact version.
I adore the cheerfulness and how energetic and honestly catchy this commercial is. It speaks wonders about those old railroad advertisements.

And here my friends, is the railfan national anthem
That is very true I six versions of this song on my channel
More like the Santa Fe anthem
I was think of Roll on
Agreed
are you sure it's not the I Love Toy Trains theme song?
How did you get it to sound so good?
I DK, but let’s hope you can do the same for all aboard Amtrak
To be honest, this is the best version of this song.
My top favorite Railroads

I watched an ad to watch an ad. No regrets.
“Do you hear that whistle down the line, I figure that it’s engine number 49” that’s was my favorite part of it
Santa Fe All The Way!
And that's my favorite song for the day.
I remember reenacting this commercial in BeamNG Drive. It was very fun.
Oh sick
''i remember when adds were good''
Sound quality is amazing but I kanda prefer te one where my ears are exploding
Just what is this version of “On the Atchinson Topeka and Santa Fe” made by?
I don kno
Santa Fe was the golden age of railroads
Pretty cool song.
It's a pretty old song, originally made for a movie from the 1940s and became a popular song in its own right: ua-cam.com/video/52fnRcFBGR0/v-deo.html
ATSF Is My Favorite Railroad!
I looooove this
YAY SANTA FE!
Best quality I have heard
That's why Burlington Northern wanted to get good commercials so that's how burlington northern santa fe started in 1996
I like this theme
the dislike is from Burlington northern
Awesome video! Trackside 💪
Imagine if BNSF brought this back
And changed it to saying the
Burlington Northern & Santa Fe
Would be awesome if they did
Because this slaps🔥
My top 4 favourite railroads/railway in the world
1.Union pacific
2.Queensland Rail
3.Santa Fe railway
4.British railways
5.Amtrak
6. Southern Pacific
7. Reading Railroad
8.Baltimore and Ohio
9. CSX
10. Norfolk Southern
what about the SP😭
Southern pacific is currently owned by Union Pacific but I thought I’d add it since I like southern pacific
My favorite is Norfolk and Western and The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads but they merged with other railroads in the 80s
Where is western Maryland at?
I got The Atchison Topeka And The Santa Fe’d
I like the way you made the sound and the song.

Oh this is a greatrer one

This is the closest version I’ve found sadly ua-cam.com/video/iPcZFDum3uM/v-deo.html

Union Pacific is now the last Class 1 railroad left with its orginal name from the 19th century in America.
Ns was also around back then

Look up, "A Tribute To The Santa Fe" and you find it.

At least when UP merges with a competitor, they usually let them keep half their name! Western Pacific and Southern Pacific are two!
