ATSF Info Please . . . 44 ton
Author: v1perfan

Hi Folks,

Can someone give me some info on this locomotive? Its a Davenport 44-Tonner, ATSF #451, but I can't find any info on it. I have 44-Tonners listed in my roster 400, 450 and 460 to 468. However, I don't have anything on 451.

If anyone could provide some info, I'd appreciate it!!

Thanks!

Brian.

According to McMillan's Santa Fe's Diesel Fleet, the unit is a Whitcomb 44 tonner, built 1941, 358 hp, retired March 1965.

I beleive that is the Newton Kansas depot. I think the 451 worked there for sometime before it was retired. Santa Fe had a rail mill there ?

Here is a shot I took of the 451 in 1959. Unfortunately, I was 15 and didn't keep a photo log. That year I was In Chicago and Denver, as I recall.

Yes, it's Colorado Springs, CO. The 451 spent several years there.
I'm pretty sure I've seen that photo in a book or two - have to go
home and dig out Morning Sun's _Santa Fe 1940-71 In Color_ books
tonight - it may be in Vol. 2.
