    Thank you! They have a really neat paint scheme. The "door closing" sound on the passenger cars is a recording of the "meep meep" sound from the old Roadrunner cartoons, which is pretty funny too.

    The Railrunner is a great ride and fares are more than reasonable. Unfortunately it has its critics that don't understand public transit is not to make a profit but to just have the service, which a great deal of planning makes it worthwhile...especially on the south end with the connection to Socorro...incredibly inexpensive!

    The ATSF (Santa Fe) Railroad merged with Burlington Northern in 1997 to become BNSF. The Santa Fe Southern Railroad is in no way related to either of those companies other than the fact that it runs on the old ATSF branch from Lamy to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

      0:01 Steam train with a door-less passenger coach and a caboose crosses the trestle after pulling away from an end cap.
      0:07 Steam whistle blowing while steam engine is parked.
      0:09 Steam train running at medium speed past mountains with no whistle.
      0:12 Old steam train with white diesel engine speeding by OTA in Toronto on its way to the Roundhouse Park.
      0:16 Old Union Pacific diesels passing by a CP intermodal train stopped to get some containers loaded onto its well cars.
      0:19 Amtrak freight engine leads a backwards-facing passenger engine downtown in Toronto.
      0:24 Fast Caltrain.
      0:27 Fast COASTER train on far track meets Amtrak Maple Leaf with steam leader.

    I live in Albuquerque. New Mexico is SO underrated. I wish it was as packed with train action as say, SoCal or Illinois. But you have to have a sharp eye if you want to study rail history in New Mexico. Back then, it dominated the state.

  • @lawrencekeesler7369
    @lawrencekeesler7369 9 лет назад +8

    Great video, as expected. I like your 40-second lead-in. Also it's fun to hear a locomotive that doesn't need to have a constant-rpm revving up from a start.

  • @CoasterFan2105
    @CoasterFan2105  11 лет назад +7

    Thanks! I'm pretty sure they do. The older ones (1101 - 1105 I think) sound better than the newer ones (1107 at the end of the video). Since these were all built relatively recently, they didn't go through all the choke bs that Coaster had to deal with.

  • @CoasterFan2105
    @CoasterFan2105  11 лет назад +5

    The "closing doors" sound on the passenger cars is the
    "meep meep" sound like in the road runner cartoons. It's pretty funny.

    • @Aero__08
      @Aero__08 4 года назад

      It should be “BEEP BEEP!” on all trains when it closes

    That's funny, instead of "Caution, the doors are about to close" like on the Metra, it's "Meep Meep" on the New Mexico Rail Runner. My dad likes the old road runner cartoons.

      @Metra MP36 407, only Caltrain, metra and Virginia Railway Express have gallery cars and only those railroads have the "Caution the doors are about to close" announcement and the others are just a high pitch beeping sound like Metrolink's and others commuter rails. Rail runners is road runners keep sound.

    • @unfunnyfurryrailfan
      @unfunnyfurryrailfan 8 лет назад

      Well, ACE does own some of the final EMD F40 ever built, so it would be bad if one of those would be damaged. I heard that the storm caused a tree to fall onto the track wich caused the derailment. And yes, Thank god everyone survived.

    • @CoasterFan2105
      @CoasterFan2105  8 лет назад

      From the sound of it, only the first 2 cars were damaged. The cab car (#3309) was leading when it hit the tree and derailed. It slid down the embankment. The second car derailed but remained upright (also a cab car, number 3304). I think the others were ok.
