Western Railroad Discussion > Some Santa Fe Super Fleet at SummitDate: 12/02/19 12:46 Some Santa Fe Super Fleet at Summit Author: TheNavigator Edit: Sorry everyone, meant to post this on the Nostalgia Board.
GK In the early/mid 1990s, EMD and GE delivered new units to the Santa Fe in the Super Fleet/revived warbonnet paint scheme. During that time, Summit in Cajon Pass made for easy shooting, offering good sun angles during the winter months. The shots below didn’t make the cut for my earlier post https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,4820803,4820810#msg-4820810 so I thought I’d post these as a small group rather than just deleting them. I sure do miss the red-and-silver. Thanks for looking back once again, GK 1. Four Dash8-40CWs – 814, 845, 831, and 863 – are eastbound just west of the Summit station sign in December, 1992. 2. Dash8s 937 and 847 plus 3 yellowbonnets are westbound at the east end of straight track in September, 1995. 3. Dash9-44CW 667 leading an eastbound in March, 1995. Edited 5 time(s).

That's the best paint scheme ever even if it was painted on a shoe box! Your photos prove it! "Santa Fe...all the way".

Larry Date: 12/03/19 05:57 Re: Some Santa Fe Super Fleet at Summit Author: Atsf814 Nice to see my Trainorders namesake! Awesome shots and thanks for sharing!
Date: 12/03/19 07:52 Re: Some Santa Fe Super Fleet at Summit Author: ntharalson Always thought the SD75M's were totally cool looking locomotives, maybe the best in Super Fleet paint. Not that the GE's were bad.
Nice shots, thanks for posting. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 12/03/19 09:44 Re: Some Santa Fe Super Fleet at Summit Author: SP8595 Awesome! Love the all EMD consist in #4!
