A Box of Blue & Yellow/Red & Silver
Author: cp9122

ATSF 31 Belen, NM 4.5.70 An early example of AT&SF radio control program. A number of F7B's were converted RC receivers.
ATSF 35C Belen, NM 4.4.70 A solid set of F's with true ice reefers in the background. Could have been 4.4.50
ATSF 38 Albuquerque 4.5.70 F's and the Land of Enchantment just seem to go together.

ATSF 84 Denver 7.69 One of my first attempts at shooting slides. A borrowed camera and Ektachrome. Oh well, at least I got it.
ATSF 267 Denver 9.69 It is an F7 despite the grills. My guess is that ATSF borrowed the stainless grills and put them on passenger F3's.
ATSF 304 Barstow 6.68 Good ole Icktachrome...

That order of F7's were delivered that way. But you are right, I think. The grills did go to the red and silver F3's.

What train would this have been, westbound at Albuquerque with just two F-units for power?

Could be Train 14 to El Paso, as it left Albuquerque at 11:20am.

I notice that the B unit has it's fuel tank removed and has an odd addition to the roof. What was this unit modified for?

It was converted to an RCE receiver car.
