Great shots, and thanks for taking the time to upgrade photo #2. The original scheme on those three F45's powering the "Super C" is what I remember best, even though I spent considerable time on and along the ATSF in the "Yellowbonnet" era. Thanks again...

Been wanting to ask this for awhile: Why did Santa Fe get F45s? I can see the FP45's for passenger aesthetics, but why a cowled freight engine? Date: 09/17/14 14:16 Re: few Santa Fe 45's . . . Author: Cajon92 Nice series.

At one time there was a small crossing tender's tower at Valley Blvd. north of the diamonds in Colton: http://coastdaylight.com/sb/colton_quaas.html http://swrails.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/colton_crossing.jpg Date: 09/18/14 04:14 Re: few Santa Fe 45's . . .
