I got this video recently, and the footage of the cab ride at 95mph is really something else! The cameraman couldn’t keep the camera steady, though. And you get to see some interesting stuff inside the cab as well!
Fantastic
Thank you

theUP844 yeah there only like 2 years old, there not 56-years old
My father was a Santa Fe Engineer for 34 years; and most likely ran all these Santa Fe engines pictured here. This is an outstanding Video. The F7 shown on the opening shot was my favorite behind the steam engine. When I went to work for the railroad we had several restored F7’s and I’ve spent many hundreds of hours riding in them. Good Job Here! Thanks for the memories
There is a scene in this video with the Super Chief going 90mph from the cab.
