We begin our visit to the Waynoka Sub where the sub begins, at Wellington, Kansas, the only crew change location between Kansas City and Amarillo. The line is part of the Santa Fe Transcon and sees heavy and fast freights. We’ll see plenty of intermodal, miles of trailers and lots of Warbonnets.
Between Wellington, Kansas and Waynoka, Oklahoma are 107 miles of railroad. We’ll see every bit of this busy line. This program is informatively narrated, and many locations and trains are marked with on-screen captions.
This program was shot using good “prosumer” equipment of the time, but is not up to the clarity of today’s high-definition video. It is however an excellent snapshot of an important time and place in the nation’s railroad history.

Warbonnets still rule the Waynoka Sub in the days before the BNSF merger. A parade of high-speed intermodal and general merchandise trains roll across this stretch of the Transcon against a panoramic landscape of rolling hills and prairies. The narration does a nice job explaining operations and the importance of the line, and any shortcomings you might find in the video quality are far offset by the program’s historical and nostalgic value.

Mainline action at it’s best. Long, heavy trains pounding the rails at speed are seen at it’s finest. Pre-merger days, so the warbonnet reins supreme. The producer does a fine job capturing the action and leaving us with history like can never again repeat itself. Some people will question the video quality, but don’t…. understand the time period and the value of this piece of history. Not everything has to be perfect to be great.
