It just came in from Kansas city on the point, they cut off, and took it to the house. They fueled & serviced it, gave it a spin on the table, MU'd it with two othere F's and sent it out on the Topeka local. The 2ndr photo was taken a few hours later, setting out or picking up at Osage City, KS.

 Date: 01/19/17 17:54 Re: AT&SF Yellow Bonnet #341, but read the fine print Author: hotrail This was an act that calls for whatever is the railroad equivalent of a war crimes tribunal. Those units went from being among the most beautiful locomotives every to pull a passenger train, to a bunch of utilitarian ugly ducklings.

That could be used as a switch engine. Santa Fe got a pretty good "return on investment" from this project.

Just like a Geep.

I know it prolonged the life of the locos guts, but there still looks to be a criminal act involved here. I'll take the looks of the F over the CF-7, any day.
