It’s sad that this railroad came to an end with its absorption into the Union Pacific in 1996. They churned out some good looking locos and were one of the most recognizable rail lines in the US. Southern Pacific may be gone, but it survives through the preserved steam and diesel engines that still exist today like 4449, 1996 and 4294. Goodbye SP, gone but not forgotten!
And we were close to seeing a merger between Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which in my opinion would've probably been more preferable for us rail enthusiasts. But, while it's blind to other big companies merging together, the US Federal Government back then didn't seem to like the idea of railroad companies doing just that, breaking up what would've become the Southern Pacific Santa Fe. Now we're left with Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. But at least the SP and the ATSF live on in our hearts
PrincessFlora42 UP owns SP now and changed a little of there locos even some Locos went to leasing company that’s have there paint scheme but no southern pacific logo UP Has some SP Locos in there paint with southern pacific but the logo in front and numbers patched

Great animation of the Southern Pacific Daylight with 1 of my 3 most favorite steam locomotives, the GS4 number 4449, my other 2 most favorite steam locomotives are the J class 4-8-4 number 611 which is he same wheel arrangement as SP 4449 & the AC12 4-8-8-2 Cab Forward number 4294 which is on display at the nations best state railroad museum in Sacramento, CA. In a few weeks I will be running my Kato N scale trains. My Southern Pacific Morning Daylight with the GS4 steam locomotive number 4449 is my excursion train & my other N scale train is the Coast Starlight. I’ll be playing Southern Pacific roll on when I run my excursion train on my model railroad the Pacific West Coast railroad.
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**
So roll on big iron lady through the mountains and the plains roll on men and women with the addition in your veins keep the driving wheels turning hard across this great land blow that whistle loud and long with the future in our hands
When a 20 plus year old song about a former railroad gives you better vibes than the depressing and or vulgar music our youth listens to. FYI: I am a railfan.

I have one of the original 1940s southern pacific main line gage looking spring steel railroad spikes they are hard to find and get it came from Arizona
only differance remnants of SP were said to have mearged with UP long ago so in other words remmants of SP are still with Union Pacific and surviving with Union Pacific.
I have a few more of these type of videos in mind, so let me know if you guys want to see more of these lyric videos! And to which song?
Jackboy317 yes I want to see more like this, maybe one for the New York Central System
Connor Lee don’t know if PRR has a song, I’ll have to see
New York Central... this is a threat
Jackboy317 most people just use life is a highway
SteamIsKing productions yes, that I was planning to do after Great Big Rolling Railroad (Union Pacific)

Southern Pacific Union Pacific it's all the same to me
I thought that when UP merged with SP I thought it was going to be like Union Southern Pacific USP or SUP
@@wolfzillaproductions4563 they absorbed it? I thought it was still it's own company, also who runs 4449 and the other steamers?
My only regret is that I can only give this video one upvote.
We makin’ it outta the coast with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

sp 4449 should have a deal with UP where she pulls excursions on donner pass and other SP lines.
Did you know that SP 4449 can go up 110mph?
Or Cajon pass but it should not derail again like those 3 Cajon pass runaways because that’s all our favorite locomotive
@@mattyoung2297 yes
@@mattyoung2297 so can 611 😒
@@NinjagoGuy416 well N&W 611 had a severe derailment in Cedar, West Virginia in January 1956, but was repaired.
Huge respect for this song it made my eyes sweat and no i didnt get teary eyed
Man, for some reason America’s your home hits me hard.
me to also *COTTON BELT, T&L, DENVER RIO GRANDE*
I think T&L is supposed to be T&NO (Texas & New Orleans)
America is slowly dying at the moment, of course it hits hard
As a country music and rail fan, this is probably my new favorite song.
My favorite railway that's right how song Southern Pacific: The Spirit That Won The West!
im a very big train person! so i love every train song from union pacific new york central even this one!

Southern Pacific Roll On Lyrics
This song is one of my favorites!
Southern Pacific: I built America
Union and Central Pacific: Are we a joke to you?
@Jaxon Ancona Yeah, I know, but then it would be 'Central Pacific, the spirit that won the west.'
This thing REEKS of early UA-cam!...
I LOVE IT!!!
The animation looks awesome, keep up the good work on it.
Some Southern Pacific Survivors.

noice :D must say SP is the better railroad as they actually cared bout passangers, ashame its been bought by a freight giant
SP and DRG needed to merge into union pacific for the greater good
To this day, we will never what the T&L is.
its supposed to be T&NO Or Texas and New Orleans
nice

@@agentjfm Nah Fam its actually Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe
@@agentjfm thats not what i saw in the song. It was actually T&L.
@@srgtlame3361 i mean even if it was atchison topeka and santa fe they would put A.T.S.F in the song.
@@agentjfm Also if it was chicago, burlinton & quincy they would also put cb&q there which they didint.
Therfore you are both wrong.
Southern Pacific is like the gigachad of US Railways, like Santa Fe, B&O, Pennsylvania Railroad, and Norfolk and Western.
Norfolk and western is now Norfolk southern
Keep the drive wheels turning lads!
I wish I HAD A MISSOURI PACIFIC LOCOMOTIVE
This my jam
T&L is supposed to be T&NO (Texas and New Orleans) but I think they changed N.O. to L (Louisiana) because T&NO was too long.
Harriman Fox probably, ik it was T&NO, but I just went with the official lyrics
can i use this for credit?
but southern pacific is gone but the one train is conic to southern pacific is and is alive is 4449
When they drove that golden spike in 1869
Hey its southern pacific 4449 and the daylight
Rainer Bagatsing SP 4449 is the daylight not SP 4449 with the daylight
@@eliyahtherailfanner131 I ment that its sp 4449 the gs4 and the daylight train.
Rainer Bagatsing oh
Is that James Coffey? Or is that someone else?
Santa fe
What artist is this? Is this song on Spotify?
Can someone tell me what the T&L is I can't find anything on it
That was a typo, it’s actually t&no which is Texas and New Orleans
Anyone know who sings this song?
What if i told u SP still is alive
only differance remnants of SP were said to have mearged with UP long ago so in other words remmants of SP are still with Union Pacific and surviving with Union Pacific.
Is this song public domain
