I’ve been documenting trains since I was a kid growing up in northeast Ohio in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was a time when railroads were consolidating, creating the large homogenous freight companies you might be familiar with today, namely CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, and BNSF.
The VHS footage mostly includes Conrail at the height of their glory, the rainbow years of CSX, a little bit of early Norfolk Southern, and Burlington Northern from a trip I took to Montana. My contemporary footage is mostly of the Union Pacific along the Gila and Lordsburg subdivisions of the Sunset Route that run between Yuma and Tucson, AZ, and Tucson to El Paso, TX. But I also get out to Ohio every year to visit family, and watch trains, and travel to different parts of the U.S. to shoot trains.

Awesome chase of the GP60s and SP leader Mark, that was a cool catch 👏

Great stuff! I worked out of Whitefish from 1984-1987. I went to Amtrak in 87 when they took over T&E. Worked out of Shelby for a minute before I transferred to Chicago. Thanks for the memories🎉
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing your story.
Awesome grabs in Eloy... Loved train 2 with the SP on the tip of the spear and two local engines that I have videos of both while they were working in Chandler !!

Why did they add the diesel? Was it for the dynamic brakes?
Yes, and range extension over the grades.

So THAT'S where they added the diesel.
Yes and they were supposed to pick up more passenger cars in Ogden.
@@MarkTraain Gotcha!
Man screw that diesel! 🤬
