Digital Live Sound Video: Late 1960's era Santa Fe switching local passing through a freight yard. a video by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I photographed this digital live sound video last year, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.

My Bachman model of an early 1950's era American Locomotive Comapny (Alco) model S 4 yard switcher from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, is viewed slowly pulling a switching local caboose first through a small freight yard.

The locomotive is wearing Santa Fe's 1950's era black and silver "Zebra Stripe" color scheme, while the Athearn caboose is wearing Santa Fe's post 1966 caboose rebuild paint scheme.

This represents how some of the Santa Fe's freight trains may have looked like during the mid to late 1960's, as a number of yard switcher's did not get repainted right away in to the 1960 blue and yellow color scheme.
