Nostalgia & History > good old Santa FeDate: 02/22/06 19:08 good old Santa Fe Author: 3rdswitch Back in August '90, it seems like a lifetime, one of Santa Fe's hottest westbounds, train 198 [edited, thanks] was approaching Cajon Campground led by a quartet of faded GP50/GP40X's. Out the mighty have fallen as these units are either gone or seen only on locals and work trains.
