Nostalgia & History > My Favorite Unit of all time... ATSF F Pass.series-Spring 1971Date: 07/21/18 12:00 My Favorite Unit of all time... ATSF F Pass.series-Spring 1971 Author: the_expediter I have fond memories of them since I grew up in San Diego area and would see them when young and ride behind them when I became a teenager...Here's #77 prob. 10? min. after her 1600 departure time from the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego, hustling along in Rose Canyon, just east of Pacific beach...She would connect with the Super Chief'/El Cap, which departed LAUPT at 1930...Looking at my July 1971 Amtrak TT (2nd one, as first was May1, 1971) #18 the combined Super Chief/ El Cap left LAUPT at 1915...for some reason 15 min. earlier than old Santa Fe times...Thanks for looking back with me...Steve in warm Grossmont, CA
