This guy is the most American-sounding American Iβve ever heard

all hail the beep
-
The Beep is the longest lived locomotive ever on the ATSF and later BNSF. The railroad sure did made a great decision to preserve it
-
"Its Called the Beep" I dont know why but that sent my sides into orbit.
-
Always nice to see the oddballs being donated. Such an incredible story!
-
It's astounding that a locomotive survived in the pinstripe scheme into the modern era.

WORKING FOR SANTA FE ARGENTINE SHOPS ON THE 4/ MIDNIGHT SHIFT , I WOULD OCCASIONALLY WHEN PAYDAY WAS ON FRIDAY , MAKE A TRIP TO WORK TO PICKUP MY PAYCHECK! MY OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTER, THEN 5 YEARS OLD WOULD RIDE ALONG. THEN WE WOULD DRIVE AROUND THE LOCOMOTIVE SHOP AREA A BIT TO SEE ALL THE ENGINES!! THE 1460 CAUGHT HER EYE AND BECAME HER FAVORITE UNIT!! NATURALLY I AM QUITE PLEASED IT WAS PRESERVED AT BARSTOW!! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!!ππ

Seeing the Santa Fe locomotives in their blue & yellow markings like that takes me back to my childhood when the ATSF rail line ran just a couple blocks from our house. I always enjoyed sitting on our front porch watching the trains go by.

Switcher locomotives don't get a lot of the glamour of rail work..but they provide valuable and needed service to the rail lines. Great that BNSF preserved this locomotive and it found a good home.
-
I am not nearly oppsed to scrapping, however, I however I do appreciate it when companies retain and leave at least one engine or rolling stock.
-
It's Good to hear tales relating to the Cleburne Facilities!!! π€ π

wow Merch this was amazing, loved it thanks and man i love your voice awesome again thanks
-
I always thought it was a GP7 that had it's short hood chopped off. Turns out the story's even more interesting.
-
I got to see her at work in 2002-3 from a private passenger train. Double treat.

My mom is from Cleburne, TX, and my grandfather worked as a machinist at the Santa Fe yards there for many years after WWII, and did a lot of the F7>C7 modifications before he died, well before I was born so I never knew him but, I have toured what is left of the Cleburne yard many times. Oddly, my father, working for my mom's uncle, was the company that tore down the old round house in the Cleburne yard. So, to say that I have rail roading in my blood is an understatement.
-
I had the pleasure of seeing the Beep in action at Cleburneβ¦..fascinating!
-
Oh YES, YES,YES,and triple and truly YES, The Beep are the most popular and most important "Saved" Locomotives EVER in Santa Fe History!?!?!?!! ππππβ€

This video popped up on the YouTube and found it very interesting. Had no idea I had seen this unit last September in Barstow looking a lil rough.
