I think this one is the best of the series, but that's likely due to me living along the BNSF Stockton sub, and I enjoy the trip back in time. The piano intro music, what is that? It's quite catchy... I like it!
Great video! Gotta love the sound of those EMD's, as well as the bells at the road crossing's! Brings back lots of memories, especially at Stockton tower, where I spent quite a bit of time in the 80's and early 90's!
Where is Collier? I can't find it on a map. EDIT-would the west switch be at Palm between Willow and Sycamore? I railfanned there for a bit once because a wb was in the siding waiting for an eb, then went to the west portal of tunnel 3 and waited...and waited...and waited. After about two hours, with mother nature calling, I started heading back to my car. No sooner than I got out of sight of the portal (I really wanted a shot of a train emerging), one came.
These projects are made based on whatever surfaces and what I have access to, currently I don’t have any mid to late 1990s videos available to me to make any full videos
I've had this question for many years now? Why do or did the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe engines have that flashing yellow light on top of the locomotive cab? I've always wondered why this is? Not to mention during daylight hours, you can hardly even see that flashing yellow light? Thank you to anyone who can enlighten me. BTW, I think Union Pacific also used those yellow flashing lights?
It was just an additional safety feature ATSF added on their locomotives to satisfy any potential California legislation on safety lights. SP followed ATSF practice in 1986 during the failed merger to reduce costs as the financial stability of SP declined.

Awesome resource for those of us who model this era of Santa Fe.
Santa Fe Valley Division series are wonderful 😊!

That Alhmbra trestle & tunnel is impressive.
Growing up in S.F. Valley we were well used to Santa Fe, but never saw this place. Drama.
Fantastic video 😎. And the audio and sound dub in was well choreograph and pretty darn close to realistic
I grew up in pachester village. That's is exactly how I remember giant road use to be.
Thanks so much for creating and uploading this video.
Very cool! I used to fuel the BNSF locomotives at their Stockton yard.
I love the blue bonnet emd's

Collier is between Gateley and Christie the video is in location order
Collier is about half a mile east of the I-80/Hwy 4 interchange in Hercules. The siding passes over Hwy 4 on a concrete bridge.
Left BNSF in 2022 after 17 years, dont miss the company but I do miss working this route.
Can you try to find another video of this but this time mid to late 90s?

Not much has changed. I worked for BNSF for 5 years in Richmond before moving to Stockton. Lots of memories.

Kodachrome was rolling back then. Too bad it's a failed merger.
You have Santa Fe Valley division part 1, part 2 and part 4 what happen to part 3
Part 3 is available on RUclips and was uploaded on November 4, 2023
Can anyone tell me what the "U" stands for? GP 45 - U ?
