But that last photo shows the Chief boxcar with a different logo. When was that painted? Ahh, back when "the West" was a word that painted a picture.

According to the old Santa Fe Modelers Organization Santa Fe Railway Painting and Lettering Guide for Model Railroaders v.1 Rolling Stock, the slogan in the third photo was applied 1940-47, with a stylized system map adorning the other side of the car. The slogan in the first two photos was applied 1947-58, with "Ship and Travel Santa Fe All the Way" on the other side. That agrees with the build dates of the class Bx-48 (third photo, 1946), Bx-69 (first photo, 1955), and Bx-72 (second photo, 1957). |
