And you’ll be able to listen two ways with two stereo soundtracks, one with the natural train sounds, the other with narration added. You can switch the narration on or off at any time.

Shot at sites in Illinois and Missouri, it’s a fantastic journey back to the heart of American railroading!

Santa Fe Vintage Diesels (50 minutes)
Fairbanks-Morse, Baldwin, Alco, and EMD locomotives in passenger and freight service fill the screen in this exciting retrospective of Santa Fe motive power in New Mexico, Kansas, and Illinois. You’ll see Alco U30CGs, U28CGs and Fairbanks-Morse H12-44Ts at Dearborn Station in Chicago, the EMD GP7M prototype used on the Santa Fe as #99, the popular CF7s rebuilt from F3s and F7s by the Santa Fe in their own shops, and a rare shot of an early articulated railcar. Line drawings and specifications make this a valuable resource for your railroad collection!

Two stereo soundtracks, one with the natural train sounds, the other with narration added. The viewer can switch the narration on or off at any time.

  1. rickyfreni

    The Santa Fe Vintage Diesels portion of this combo was originally released as the first volume in the Fallen Flag Series from 1997, while the St. Louis Railroading portion of the combo was originally released as the 4th & final volume of the Fallen Flag Series.

    Interesting early diesel action from a bygone era in the years before, during, & after Amtrak’s debut.

    Here is a great look at history in the American mid-west. Lots of different railroad companies showing their power in St. Louis. With a wide variety of power… EMD’s, Alcos, GE’s… etc… And the Santa Fe also shows so much interesting railroad history as it is seen from New Mexico to Chicago. Excellent video for us to remember the past.

    OK, I have to admit, I bought this combo package strictly for the ATSF Vintage Diesel portion and I LOVE IT!!! There are few places to find the rare footage that this DVD contains!!!

    The St. Louis portion of the DVD is great as well (although it lacks the ATSF of course :-D) and provides some “east meets west” action within the St. Louis metro that you just can’t see anymore….almost EVERY railroad is a fallen flag. (TRRA being an exception)
