    A magnificent display. It's one thing to see the beautiful paint schemes from the glory days of railroads but to actually see them move under their own power is just plain awesome. I know the video has been around for awhile and I may have even seen it before when it was first uploaded, so I may be repeating myself here.

    Didn't know there were any Alco PAs left. Unforgetable, as a little kid, hearing the whine of those engines out of the station 3 blocks north past my grandma's house (about 75' from the tracks). E units were OK, but that long hood in Santa Fe warbonnet and the sound of them accelerating was just AWESOME. A-B or A-B-A on the way to San Diego. Thanks for this. UNFORGETABLE: Late in the Korean War, about 2AM, I was awoke by the the RARE sound of a loud steam whistles, and looked out the window in awe, as 3 HUGE Santa Fe steam engines roared by, hauling a military train bound for San Diego - endless flat cars loaded with tanks, cannons, and other military vehicles, plus box cars, I assume, that were laden with ammo/small arms. Another helper was cut in 3/4 back in the LONG consist. I was only 5+, but I think they were 2-10-4s. Then, very close behind, came the blair of the horns from 4 ALCO PA/PB units hauling a long troop train of old heavy weight passenger cars. Don't know how I ever got back to sleep.

The painted F-unit trainset in the A-B formation is adorned in the famous AT&SF red and silver warbonnet paint scheme and looks absolutely beautiful. I plan to add more HO brass F-units, from Overland Models, to my growing HO scale brass engine and rolling stock collection. 😊 I truly enjoyed this video, and I will watch it again and again and again. 👏😁 I also want to add, your cinematography is excellent! 👍 📽️ 📸

      The streamliners started and got their fame with steam locos with great shrouding. The diesels just inherited those name trains and since streamlining was a hot thing they obviously needed to be to be considered fit to pull passenger trains at the time.

      I thought the first streamliner was a diesel? The Zephyrs?

    Really impressed with those A-B-A Lackawanna F3 set. That is very rare to see a complete A-B-A set.

      Interesting to note that only the lead unit was working. The B unit has still not been restored to run, and the trailing A unit was having issues. The 664 certainly put on a good show

    I once saw the Southern Crescent headed by classic Southern Railways colors in Wilmington, Delaware once. A huge storm of very fine snow driven by heavy winds had laid up all the GG1s.

    I wish someone had produced a book of photos of all these locos. I would have bought it like a shot, and I'm not even a diesel fan.
