A GP7 and an F7B (probably) head north with tanks picked up a nearby refinery in August '74. Any guess on where it was taken ?

You know Wichita Jct, after asking you to post some UP stuff yesterday, I had a passing thought to also ask if you had any Santa Fe of the 1970's around Matfield Green, but I didn't so as not to push my luck. You must have been reading my mind. Got any more Santa Fe shots from around there?

Also, are you sure this train is heading north? It looks like this would be a westbound/southbound, with the view looking north. It appears highway K-177 is in the background there, which is east of the Santa Fe in that area. And the Matfield Green siding is on the west side of the mainline.

Old Chelsea before the line change in 79? Going "east" instead of north.
