The ATSF IS the all American railroad. I dont care what railroad is your favorite, you GOTTA love the Santa Fe. I been into the IC for years but i remember seeing the Santa Fe trains from time to time when i was little riding with my dad in the car going downtown in Chicago. It was the Santa Fe that really made me a railfan and modeler.

Today we can still see the old Santa Fe, with her warbonnets and bluebonnets still in service now on the BNSF, some still are lettered Santa Fe.

Joshua Sigouin: Had the Santa Fe not merged with the Burlington Northern to form BNSF Railway, both would have faced a hell of a competition against the ever growing Union Pacific. Hell, they merged to compete effectively against the recent Southern Pacific-Union Pacific merger. If this merger had not happened, the SP, UP, ATSF and BN would be the main carriers in the west. But, the SP (D&RGW, SSW indirectly) merged with the UP thus prompting BN and the ATSF to merge to form BNSF.

Jessica Kasumi nope, BN+SF merger happened first. UP attempted a proxy fight to get the Santa Fe for itself, but mostly to make it more costly for the BN since UP had to know a merger between them would never be approved. BN+SF was completed in '96; UP+SP completed in '98.

I was born in the mid 1990s, but man, do I wish to live during those times of these commercials. Technology may not have been as advanced, but the culture was still good, the economy was decent, and hard work was still highly regarded. Thus, the trains were still highly regarded and praised than today. Nowadays, people don't fully appreciate them. They're not called "the backbone of a nation" for nothing.

Railroads weren't in their heyday in the 1940s to 1980s. In fact, from 1945 to the 1980s were the darkest hours for the American railroads. Railroads faced competition from air travel in the postwar era and from the mid-1950s on, the Interstate system. In fact, it was so bad that the Pennsylvania RR, once the largest corporation on earth, merged with a bitter rival. The failure of the Penn Central only 3 years later brought down 6 more railroads, leading to the creation of Conrail.

Old Dr Baker from Little House on the Prairie is in the last commercial here. That Barstow classification /hump yard is all what's keeping that town alive and the 2 military bases . ( Ft. Irwin National Training Center & the Marine Base in Yermo). Town can't get bigger or progress through time. It's just geographically challenged, sitting in the middle of the northeastern Mojave Desert. At one time, Barstow was bigger than Victorville, Apple Valley or Hesperia. With the other three towns being closer to the Inland Empire, people began moving there and commuting "down the hill" to work. There's not enough decent paying jobs in the High Desert but at least the real estate is way cheaper than elsewhere. Just figure on getting a car every 3 years or so due to all of the commuting = high mileage and wear and tear.

@mt90945557 - AutoTrain is one of Amtrak's biggest money-makers. Its phone number for a while was 800-SKIP-I-95. However, you had to drive through the worst parts of I-95 (congestion, tolls, potholes and construction) along the Northeast Corridor to reach the terminus in Lorton, VA. There should be extensions of AutoTrain service to the Boston area as well as westward from Lorton to the Los Angeles area.
