Nostalgia & History > FoggFile: 8 Santa Fe 'gators on one trainDate: 12/10/12 06:01 FoggFile: 8 Santa Fe 'gators on one train Author: valmont Howard Fogg captured these 8 'gators' eb on a rainy Sept. 12, 1964 @ Williams Jct., AZ. I think the most of these Alcos I ever saw together were 2, and that was in the Santa Fe yard at Argentine, KS!

Stills of buildings from that trip are in the two Morning Sun |Santa Fe Facilities volumes, including some May 1979 photos of a delapidated Williams Jct. depot on p.108 of volume 1.
