Santa Fe Commercial- 1970s

To be honest, this is the best version of this song.

Do you hear that whistle down the line? Continue here 👇

About 1970, my dad and I rode a Santa Fe passenger train from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, and we sat for breakfast in the dining car. My dad, always the jokester, started singing that Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe song when the server asked what we would like to order. I think my dad expected the guy to smile or laugh, but he just stood there stone-faced, holding a pen and his order pad until my dad finished the verse. The guy took the order and then walked away. He had probably heard that song a million times.

Union Pacific is now the last Class 1 railroad left with its orginal name from the 19th century in America.

Dad & I worked at the San Bernardino shops, he for over 30 years and I the last 5 years before the shops were closed and moved to Topeka. in the later 70s. I grew up watching, traveling and working for the Santa Fe. Any wonder when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was being a Santa Fe Engineer. I think I still do in my dreams. Once you got railroad blood in you, you keep it for life. Got my first taste of working in heavy industry there and appreciating real team work and feeling family on the job. We had family friends & relatives working there. Never thought Santa would merge, being such a strong operation and having a vital railway area. But it came to be and with Burlington Northern, Warren Buffet bought it all. But memories will last forever for helping to develop the west. Santa Fe All The Way.

I adore the cheerfulness and how energetic and honestly catchy this commercial is. It speaks wonders about those old railroad advertisements.

Santa fes good service to 🇺🇸 cannot be forgotten

I love blasting my eardrums out with this masterpiece

My top favorite Railroads
1 - AT&SF
2 - Southern Pacific Lines
3 - Sierra Railroad

But it looks like someone recorded a crt shiwing the commercial

I watched an ad to watch an ad. No regrets.

2023: On the Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe

The 1940s recording sounds better

Do you know the exact year this is from

I remember how American that was

I looooove this

I like this

If Judy Garland saw that The Atchison Topeka And The Santa Fe has been changed to The Burlington The Northern And The Santa Fe she'd probably have a heart attack and die again, But more importantly she'd go "Wow these meds have left an impact on me, cause I'm seeing a lot of Orange!"

And that's my favorite song for the day.

I like the way you made the sound and the song.

rip the ATSF skyway

Santa Fe was the golden age of railroads

That's why Burlington Northern wanted to get good commercials so that's how burlington northern santa fe started in 1996

Wait who's that green train charging towards us??

Me in a BN loco: IM BETTER THAN YOU

Probably one of my favourite commercial. The sound is also awesome.
