OTD: Spiffy Santa Fe Snoot ('78)
Author: valmont

This sharp looking Santa Fe SD40-2 was sitting in Denver on Jan. 22, 1978. The source of it's nickname is obvious.

Very nice roster photo of a very snooty unit.
Thanks for posting.

Q: What do you call the horn on this unit?

A: Why, it's a Snooty-Tootie, of course...

I'll go take my meds, now...

I for one never get tired of seeing this paint scheme. So sharp, especially with those clean silver trucks. Santa Fe was always a class act.

Always liked the snoots.  A standard SD40-2 with "porches" on both ends tends to look a bit misproportioned, but a snoot with a porch only on the rear looks like it's leaning into its work.

If they would guarantee that I would catch one of those every trip I might be tempted to try to mark back up............ :)
