I have the 2020 Friendly Southern Pacific calendar. The Daylight photos in it are my favorite Southern Pacific photos. I have a Kato N scale Morning Daylight 10 car set & the GS4 Lima Built 4-8-4 DAYLIGHT LOCOMOTIVE THAT HAS NUMBER 4449, that will be my Excursion train when I set up the N scale trains to run. My other N scale is an Amtrak Superliner that I call the Coast Starlight that travels on my most favorite Amtrak route.
Didn't even know they had a song. I may be a huge UP fan, but SP sure had some of my favorite paint schemes. The Daylight, the Black Widow, the tiger stripes. Thanks for sharing!
Union Pacific has a special Southern Pacific heritage locomotive - UP1996 - along with a special Denver & Rio Grande Western heritage locomotive - UP1989 - in its fleet.
Well isn't this cool - I was not aware of this...love that banjo pickin'...very catchy...smile-worthy seeing old pics of SP equipment. I lived in LA in the 80's and used to go over to the yards and watch the oil train (to Bakersfield) pull out. Those engines were by far the sorriest looking units I ever saw in all my years of rail fanning! They should have been embarassed but they didn't care. I always remembered the old saying, "what a way to run a railroad!" spoken about some screw-up or another. It sure fit. On a positive note, I think my favorite RR logo is the SP tracks into the sun. Sweet! Thanks for the share!
Michael Presson Southern Pacific GS-4 Lima built 4-8-4 streamlined steam locomotive in Daylight colors is one of my most favorite streamlined steam locomotives that still runs excursions X4449 which pulled the Freedom Train in 1975 & 1976, my other favorite streamlined steam locomotive that also still runs is the Norfolk & Western J Class 4-8-4 number 611 which was built by the Norfolk & Western in its Roanoke, Virginia shops. The Southern Pacific streamline GS-4 Daylight locomotive was in the opening scene in the Superman television series in the early 1950’s.
I grew up train watching the SP all over the west coast. I would have never of thought I'd be watching a video on UA-cam of something I saw everyday back then. Kind of makes me sad knowing it's only a memory now.
When they drove that Golden Spike in 1869. It opened up the American West to the Southern Pacific Line. A thousand miles of wilderness, heard the hammer's ring. And voices of the gandy dancers sing: Southern Pacific, roll on! Roll on! From Chicago through the Rockies, America's your home! Portland to New Orleans, all along the Golden Crest. Southern Pacific, the spirit that won the West! On spikes and ties laid down in time to some old fiddler's reel. We're forever stitched together with a million miles of steel! Right on the clock, the rolling stock helps keep this country great. As long as there's a U.S.A., SP will haul the freight! Southern Pacific, roll on! Roll on! From Chicago through the Rockies, America's your home! Portland to New Orleans, all along the Golden Crest. Southern Pacific, the spirit that won the West! **instrumental break** The Cotton Belt, the T&L, the Denver Rio Grande. With all the others proud and strong, coupled hand to hand! Pulling every grade and curve, a single heart and mind. Making sure the job gets done out, on the SP line! Southern Pacific, roll on! Roll on! From Chicago through the Rockies, America's your home! Portland to New Orleans, all along the Golden Crest. Southern Pacific, the spirit that won the West! **another short instrumental break** So, roll on, big Iron Lady, through the mountains and the plains! Roll on men and women with tradition in your veins! Keep the drive wheels turning all across this great land! Blow that whistle loud and long, the future's in our hands! Southern Pacific, roll on! Roll on! From Chicago through the Rockies, America's your home! Portland to New Orleans, all along the Golden Crest. Southern Pacific, the spirit that won the West! **instrumental outro**
Frisch 1522 I agree with your comment, there is 1 Southern Pacific AC12 cab forward steam locomotive which is at the California State Railroad museum in Sacramento thatis on display-number 4294 that pulled many Southern Pacific trains over Donner pass & on other Southern Pacific routes.
Sadly, the 819 isn’t running, but it’s on display at the Arkansas Railroad Museum (I’m actually an Arkansas resident). It would be cool to see it run though!
I'll tell you lady' and gents I ain't danced like that in decade's, and I'm a Yankee by birth SOUTHERN by CHOICE . 47 BACKWARDS TOO. Give me a small Towne that still has Saturday night get togethers that play this kind of music and good folks that have your 6 and ida found home !
a buddy was a track signalman for CR. about 1977, he was working in Cincinnati when a freight came by. SP bicentennial 6800 was in the consist. Almost certainly. 6800 came in via the B&O St.L. line. We always saw SP/SSW power coming through this line.
The best pain scheme the Southern Pacific had on its diesel locomotives was the Daylight colors which pulled its passenger trains. My favorite Amtrak route is the Pacific Surfliner/Coast Starlight/Capital Corridor route in California where San Diego to Los Angeles was the Santa Fe Surf Line which is today BNSF, from Los Angeles to Sacramento it was the Southern Pacific which is now Union Pacific. I see many Union Pacific freights on its Sunset Line from New Orleans to Los Angeles. In 1997 many of the Southern Pacific painted GE dash 8’s we’re behind the Union Pacific’s when pulling the freights, sometime there were some that just had a Union Pacific number on a yellow painted square. Union Pacific gave the impresssion that they were treating the Southern Pacific painted locomotives as if they were poison, not good enough. The Southern Pacific painted dash 8’s were treated as if they were outcasts.
@@SPNGMalibu18 Yes, pictures and videos! Check out the two videos of the SP 4449 cabride that I posted to my channel, and don't forget to subscribe to my channel while you're there!
I agree. A few pictures of the cab 4-8-8-2 cab forwards which was the steam version of a diesel that pulled the SP trains through the Sierra Nevada mountain tunnels between The San Francisco Bay Area & The Reno area as well as on the Shasta route. The 4-8-8-2 cab forward, the streamlined GS-4 number 4449, the Norfolk & Western J Class 4-8-4 number 611 are my favorite steam locomotives which ran on the Southern Pacific and the Norfolk & Western railroads, two of the three run excursions and the cab forward 4-8-8-2 is on display at the California State Railroad Museum which is the very best one in the count4y.
🎼Southern Pacific Roll on, Roll on. From Chicago through the Rockies. America is your home. Portland to New Orleans all along the Golden Crest. Southern Pacific, Spirit that won the west. 🎼
this is the good memories thar southern pacific is a sucessful railroad they run out of service in 1996 cause sp merger with up i hate up what they done to southern pacific Rip sp i will be in my hearth RIP southern pacific 1869 - 1996
Jeff Demition It was the failed Santa Fe merger that was the wooden stake in the heart for the SP. Santa Fe got the gold mine, and left the SP the shaft.
@@coldblue9mm It's true, but also southern pacific had lost a great amount of money when passengers started to use planes and busses instead of trains. If Southern Pacific (and also pennsylvania railroad, atchison topeka and santa fe, Milwaukee road and other great railroad names) would be able to build an high speed railroad (like the European ore the Japanese ones) they would, at least, compete with busses.
Nicopavvi 8 All major US railroads got out of the passenger train business. That’s not at all what brought on the downfall of the Southern Pacific. A company can only build so many “Golden Parachutes” for higher management who took all they could from the S P before they bailed. But what do I know, I only worked 22 years for them before the Union Pacific bought us.
UP took over so many of the greats the Feather River, the Eagles, the Katy, CNW, and ofc the king of them all SP. But hey that's the way the industry went so many great names gone and so many great lines abandoned
While working at the SP San Francisco Headquarters on Market St. in the early 90's, this was the Music On Hold (MOH) that we heard played over the office telephone system. I may have just recorded this over the telephone and many years digitized it into an audio file. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the band is playing the music.

(Facepalm) He's meaning SP's Daylight and Sunbeam trains. Their colors were Scarlet, Orange, Silver, and Black. Milwaukee Road was Orange, Maroon, Silver, and Black. They used similar colors, however, their color lining/placement was very different.
Zoom in and view all of your pictures 📸 in the box and then 7am the other one on one page that you 😉 the other way na the other day I found that you had been working with me for some 100000 years ago but you have not seen any time before ako to
Excuse me, why great railroad companies like SP or UP hasn't tried to build high speed trains? I think that could have been a way to save passenger trains from death
They did try, in the form of the streamliners. However, even these were not popular enough, The population density in America is too low for high speed rail to work in most cases.
The 9 states of the Northeast region taxed the hell out of many railroads, especially my birth state of New York, and the railroads are the only big business hat is taxed in the state of New York and New York State taxes the dead. Many railroads in the Northeast & even in the 8 State Midwest region were not only taxed to hell, bu driven into bankruptcy like the Penn Central, Lehigh Valley, Rock Island, Milwaukee Road just to name some.
Dave Smith This is about the most stupid comment I've ever heard. I guess you think minimum wage is all a person who works on these railroads deserve? While the shareholders rake in the money, to this day? I wish people like you had a freggin clue before they spew this "right to work" crap!
The worst thing was regulation it mightve been warranted when the industry was well beyond healthy in the 1890s-1910s but it should been repealed by the 50s or 60s at the latest. When things finally started lossening up in the 80s the damage was already done.
