The perfect, Electro Motive (EMD), E9 shot!
Sometimes you just happen to be at the right place at the right time. Back in the summer of 1990 I recorded with my then new video camera the Burlington Northern's Electro-Motive E9 units in commuter service while I could before their retirement. This was a three (E9s) for the price of one shot. Just as the westbound double header clears, the eastbound EMD E9 comes into full view. I couldn't have been luckier if I had tried! Thanks for watching this short clip! To watch the entire video this segment came from, click on this CZcams link from my channel: czcams.com/video/uX2dJ5t3ooY/video.html

I work in Sapulpa and grew up in the area. Crazy to see how things have changed! I would’ve been three when this was filmed.
Thanks for your comment! I was 36 years old when I shot this video in Sapulpa. Indeed, much has changed since then. I last traveled this way in 2022.
Lol it looks about the same today
Yes, pretty much.
At 4:38 you can see the smoke coming off of John Lund's pants...What an incredible scene.
I flew Capital Airlines several times as a child from Albuquerque, NM to Washington D.C. and it was always so much fun being on the "Connie" which was my favorite plane.
Capital Airlines only flew as far west as Minneapolis/St Paul. I gather you flew out of Albuquerque on perhaps a TWA Constellation to a city such as Chicago to connect with a Capital Airlines flight onto Washington D.C. Thanks for your comment!
@@WAL_DC-6B Perhaps it was a connecting flight. Maybe I connected at Montgomery or Birmingham Alabama. I know I didn't go North. I remember Capital because I got airsick on the flight (as a 5yr. old, flying alone lol).
@@suzanneterrey4499 Back in the days when airsickness bags saw more frequent use because the propeller airliners back then flew lower and consequently more exposed to rough weather.
I worked in the corporate office of Wehrenberg for 35 years. The property was worth more than the Drive ins income each year as with the case of all of them. All the drive ins were opened in the late 40's when land was cheap
Indeed, I'm sure this became the case for many if not most Drive-in theaters throughout the country especially those in or near big cities. Thanks for your comment!
yo i remember this sapulpa, i grew up here, i was 10 in this video.. live here still today.
They were a cool airline. Thanks for this piece of nostalgia.
I agree Midway Airlines was indeed "a cool airline" having flown on it several times back in the 1980s. I once flew Midway from Midway airport to Des Moines, IA. Des Moines was "completely socked in" due to fog. The captain got on the intercom and asked the passengers which alternate airport they'd like to go to for the night, Kansas City or Minneapolis-St Paul? K.C. won out. The airline put us up in individual rooms at a nice Hyatt Hotel near the airport and also paid for our dinner that night. The next day's short flight to DSM was uneventful.
Late 60's till early 70's I remember flying was a big deal for my mom- she would dress up and always put in a suit. Great times!
Indeed, back when flying was more of a conveyance for the well to do, businessman or those who really saved their pennies.
Dude this made me tear up!!! I was 14 with all the hope in the world …. #GenX.

What an interesting way to unload and load the baggage containers on the DC8....
Yes, it was quite an innovative way of loading a jetliner back in the late 1950s when DC-8s first became operational.

Delta, Atlanta to Hawaii w/ stop in LA or Dallas...and back. Rode way in back on way home but didn't mind. We had some turbulence over the Pacific that probably would have been substantial had we not been traveling in such a stable aircraft.
Hi there, is this footage available to use in a documentary? If so, will you please let me know in the comments how I can contact you to provide further info? Thx

Awesome... I miss them with our RNZAF 👍✈️🇳🇿
I went to school in the area, it was a real treat when aircraft like this would fly over our school! Coolest thing I saw was an AV-8 practicing hovering over a field near the NAS once.
To be honest, the horns of these 6000 series trains sound like car honks 😅😁 But I love these types of old school CTA trains! 🩷❤️
My favorite of all planes. Used to fly the 61's and 71's on Delta between ATL and TPA in the 70's and 80's. The first 71 series I ever saw was a UAL in MCO in early 1983. A truly timeless and beautiful design.
I agree, the Douglas DC-8 was a beautiful design not to mention a practical one as well. I only flew once domestically in July 1976 on a DC-8. That was a Delta Air Lines flight on a series 50 from New Orleans to Chicago (ORD). Come to think of it, that was the last time I ever flew on Delta!
17:15 someone is using a laptop?
No, I don't believe laptops existed back in 1991 as home desktop computers were just becoming popular at that time.
They should have done a re-engine conversion to the 727s as well since the Pratt & Whitney JT8Ds made the 727s just as loud as the JT3Ds that originally powered the DC8s
❤ Southern greetings from coastal Mississippi and Twelve Oaks plantation. Thank you for this historic video. I know/knew that neighbour hood.

Nearly 20 years later and our coast has once again become the shining Jewel of the South.😂

Would be awfully nice if you got a descent camera and a new cameraman to show such a fantastic display the way we could see it.
Indeed, it "would be awfully nice." Just one problem and that is this display of toys closed about 2009 and the contents were auctioned off. It is to be hoped that someone else uploads to CZcams a similar video made at the Toy Museum.
Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I’m near the end of my airline career now, and I really enjoyed this. Over the course of my career I flew about 10,000 hours in the MD-80 series (and DC-9 before that) and I got on the L-1011 during its sunset years as it had been my goal to fly it since I was a kid. I loved that plane and am so glad I got to fly it; now after having flown nine airliner types it’s still the best of the best. Loved the sound of the RB211 during start and takeoff. Nothing else compares! Thank you, Lockheed!
And thank you for relating some of your airliner flying experiences.
I think Hawaiian Airlines had some of these for awhile , then they got hand me down American Airlines DC-10s
Indeed, Hawaiian operated the L-1011.
@@WAL_DC-6B I just remembered a conversation with a Hawaiian pilot about 20 years ago, they had Boeing 767ER trans ocean aircraft at the time . The pilot told me he loved the way the L 10-11 handled on final approach
It's funny, I flew this exact flight in the early 90s as a kid from ORD and STL so many times on TWA. I can imagine being on this very flight being showed in this youtube video. I used to love TWA so much, my friends' parents used to work for them. I really miss those days. Now as an adult it's United from ORD to STL now.
If only I had recorded more of the interior of this DC-9 flight maybe you could have spotted yourself. Thanks for your comments regarding your own experience on this particular TWA DC-9 route between ORD and STL!
@@WAL_DC-6B No worries thanks for sharing it! It was fun for me to see this video, it was a good view of nostalgia.
Damn!
Damn it looks like they actaully cared about this side of town back then.
Indeed, a lot of businesses seen here are now gone.
This video, the commercials, the music... It makes me feel so emotional. Times were so different back then as a kid.
