Railfanning Southern California in the 1950s and
Santa Fe's Pasadena Subdivision
Historic Hot Spots are etched in the minds of those who were there firsthand and revered by those who wish they had been. This amazing collection allows young and old alike to enjoy those wondrous times of transition in American railroading. Two best-selling programs are combined on one DVD, bringing you images from the 1950s and 1960s, taken at the best train-watching spots in Southern California. Included are:
Railfanning Southern California in the 1950s (60 Minutes)
Diesels were replacing the last of the mighty steam locomotives on the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe in the 1950s. You'll see 4-8-4s, 2-10-2s, and Cab Forwards, plus EMD E- and F-units, SD9s, Alco PAs and FAs, FM C-Liners, Baldwins and more. Freight and passenger trains are shown at Cajon, Tehachapi, Beaumont Pass, LAUPT, Glendale and Burbank Junction; even over Santa Fe's Elsinore Branch. It's one of the most appealing railroad films ever!
Santa Fe's Pasadena Subdivision (80 Minutes)
Step back to the early 1950s to watch Santa Fe's elegant streamlined passenger trains El Capitan and The Chief. Gleaming Alco PAs and EMD F-units head up these glamorous trains over the route from San Bernardino through Pasadena to Los Angeles. Ride in the cab of an F-7 on The Chief over Cajon Pass to Barstow, reaching speeds of 95 mph! There is plenty of classic passenger train action in this exciting show!
Yeah Burlington Northern owns Sante Fe now, to bad.

By Espeelover [Affiliate User] 1209397737 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy father was a Santa Fe Engineer for 34 years; and most likely ran all these Santa Fe engines pictured here. This is an outstanding Video. The F7 shown on the opening shot was my favorite behind the steam engine. When I went to work for the railroad we had several restored F7's and I've spent many hundreds of hours riding in them. Good Job Here! Thanks for the memories

By Treyvs [Affiliate User] 1191168771 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNo you don't it was horrid! I was born in 1950 and saw my first and last operating steam train in 1956. Over the years I took lousy photos of trains and a few good pics here and there. my generation just never realised it would soon be all gone.

[sigh]...I wish i was born in the 1950's.
I agree, SkullTatoos. You were born too late. America's best days are behind us. I sure to miss those passenger trains, corner drugstores, Wurlitzer jukeboxes, friendly neighborhood diners, and all the other neat stuff which used to dot are landscapes before America was homogenized into "McNation." You need to hear some of the great entertainers of our past. Search Andrews Sisters. They'll knock your lights out.
