Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe SwitchersDate: 07/18/13 08:39 Santa Fe Switchers Author: yardclerk Here are several photos of ATSF 2301 taken at a grain storage facility in Plainview Tx in 1961.
Photograper unknown, I believe it is an HH600 model. Date: 07/18/13 08:43 Re: Santa Fe Switchers Author: yardclerk Last, but not least, is a photo of ATSF 463, a GE 44-tonner also at Plainview Tx. in 1961.
Yardclerk Date: 07/18/13 09:29 Re: Santa Fe Switchers Author: valmont I photographed the same 2 units on 11/19/74 and have seen references that the 2301 went there in 10/64 and the 463 went there in 6/64
Date: 07/18/13 09:52 Re: Santa Fe Switchers Author: john1082 Given that 2301 displays no ATSF identification, I'm wondering if it had been sold to a local business, perhaps an elevator?

Do we have any views of the other units on either side ATSF 463 at Plainview, the Rusty and the Blue ones? --Jim Baker Date: 07/18/13 13:52 Re: Santa Fe Switchers Author: valmont JimBaker Wrote:
