Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision Model Railroad

38 Followers

Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision Model Railroad is dedicated to the role that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad played in developing the Great Southwest of the United States with the nation's second transcontinental railroad. Santa Fe’s Raton Subdivision Model Railroad brings this story to life in HO scale with lifelike realism. Our video collection is designed to showcase the Santa Fe Railroad's real history with an emphasis on their need to develop extremely powerful Steam and Diesel Locomotives to get trains over Raton Pass. Why do we have videos about AT&SF Steam Locomotive 5000 (Madame Queen)? Madame Queen was the ultimate development of steam locomotive technology on the Santa Fe Railway. Raton Pass created the need for Madame Queen's extreme power. The grades on SF's Raton Subdivision MR are prototypically accurate HO scale versions of the real Raton Pass grades. Join us as we explore the exciting and historic railroad action on the steepest track in the U.S.

All about Santa Fe Locomotives - Steam & Diesel! This channel is brand new and I have big plans for it! My name is Sam D. Teague, author of "The Madame Queen - ATSF 5000". In my research to write the Madame Queen history, I learned a lot about the development of motive power on the Santa Fe Railway. My friend, Larry E. Brasher literally wrote the book on steam power development on the Santa Fe with his first book on the subject, "Santa Fe Locomotive Development" published in 2006 by Signature Press. I was fortunate to be his editor and publisher for his second volume, SFLD II. Soon I will publish the first video and I will have many more to come. I will be looking at steam and diesel locomotives of the Santa Fe Railway from the very first locomotive in 1869 to the last one purchased by the Santa Fe before the merger in 1995. We will be exploring all things having to do with the locomotives, both steam and diesel, of the Santa Fe Railway. Stay tuned for an exciting journey.
