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
-
This guy is the most American-sounding American I’ve ever heard
-
"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.
-
i love this man's accent and how i could immediately tell he was from the south in the first 0.5 seconds keep trucking, you'll get to 100k soon

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.

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.

It's Good to hear tales relating to the Cleburne Facilities!!! 🤠👍

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.

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!!👍👍

I had this exact same locomotive when I was a kid. Of course, it was 'N' scale. Thanks for the video, cheers!
-
I had the pleasure of seeing the Beep in action at Cleburne…..fascinating!
-
The beep is prolly the most cutest locomotive ever made
-
Very interesting story of a unique ole switcher. Thanks.
-
I always thought it was a GP7 that had it's short hood chopped off. Turns out the story's even more interesting.
-
Most Unique Locomotive I’ve Never Heard of or Even Seen. Thanks! 👍🙏
-
Always thought this was a unique and cute little locomotive. Didn't know that it had a previous life as a completely different model! Great video!
