Worst. Warbonnet. Ever.
Author: Mastadon

So today I decided to work the former Santa Fe Chillicothe Subdivision to try my luck with the surviving searchlights. At Ancona I was "blessed" with a Santa Fe Warbonnet leader. The Pride of the Fleet was caught westbound. This poor thing has been running around like this for years. Can someone please put it out of its misery?

A worn out warbonnet is far better than no warbonnet at all..IMHO. Nice photo and catch!

If it's so bad, why did you waste your time on it?

It's certainly not a shop queen, that's for sure.

Yes, that is really bad. Like looking at Jennifer Aniston at age 90.

1. Here is another.

2. For those wondering why people think the current appearance of warbonnets is horrible, keep in mind they used to look like this.

Whatever happened to the SF GP60B? Were they scrapped?

Railfan2, Thanks for that refreshing pic, most of the young fans over here in Florida go nuts when they see a tired WB, you should post it on the Eastern board, here's 1 I got the other day.

Maybe 1 has been scrapped due to a wreck. The 107 has a cab added to it. And the rest all work locals between WASHINGTON & NEW MEXICO. You scrap GE'S not EMD'S, lol

GP60B BNSF 347 had the cab added. It became BNSF 170.
