Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe Yellow-Bonnett where/ when is/was it?Date: 10/29/14 16:28 Santa Fe Yellow-Bonnett where/ when is/was it? Author: JimBaker This photo turned up on Ebay today.
It looks like Cajon Summit, but I don't connect the dots. The hill is wrong. It appears to be to be a special excursion with private cars following. Reference: EBay item No. 281482067085 Thanks for the help. --Jim Baker  Date: 10/29/14 16:34 Re: Santa Fe Yellow-Bonnett where/ when is/was it? Author: ATSF100WEST It is 1972, and the train is the eastbound Amtrak "Chief", which ran only that year.

I've heard that Amtrak didn't like the all-yellow nose. --Jim Baker Date: 10/29/14 18:37 Re: Summit Author: The_Chief_Way One of only two passenger F's to get the yellow bonnet is leading.
