Digital Live Sound Video: A late 1960's era Santa Fe switching local enters the tunnel. a video by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I photographed this digital Live Sound Video recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

Seen here, is my representation of a late 1960's era switching local from the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, as it may have looked like circa 1968.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad had painted several of their yard switcher diesel locomotives in this black and silver zebra striped color scheme from 1950 to 1960. However...even though this was replaced by a spiffy blue and yellow color scheme in 1960, several of their switcher locomotives based at various terminals through out the A,T & S,F system, wore this color scheme in to the later part of the 1960's decade. It would take awhile before all of the engines in this color scheme would be repainted or retired.

The caboose which is an Athearn model, represents a rebuilt Santa Fe caboose from post 1966 times, as the Santa Fe began rebuilding and repainting their cabooses at their Cleburne Texas railroad shops in 1966, wearing this bright vermillion red color scheme with yellow markings.

The locomotive is a Bachman Alco S 4 yard switcher equipped with DCC and Sound.

Thanks.
