Very nice 👍. Thanks for posting.
At 32:17 the U P crossed over the former Santa Fe [now BNSF] tracks, which head north to Albuquerque NM. The "El Pasoan" operated over these tracks into El Paso. Further south-east the N de M's sole international passenger train "El Presidente Juarez", after crossing the Rio Grande, used the Santa Fe tracks into El Paso Union Station.
3:59 EPIC!!!!

I thought it was funny when at approximately 27:35 of this video when this one guy twice said” don’t jump!😂
Is the Sunset Route still active?

Absolutely. All thousand whatever miles between LA and NOLA. Rode #2 from Houston to Beaumont TX and it was nice for just $15. Granted some will say it was a slow trip I liked it for the railfan purpose. Sunset route is simply too busy of a route for any kind of abandonment.
