Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe Info PleaseDate: 03/23/19 15:23 Santa Fe Info Please Author: WichitaJct Here's a photo of a WB passenger train at Topeka. Given the time of day, I would guess this was #5, The Scout, or what was left of it. Any idea of the year or who the photographer was? Thanks.

To those whose eyes see such things, what time is it in the photo? AA Stanford White Carmel Valley, CA Date: 03/23/19 16:22 Re: Santa Fe Info Please Author: Evan_Werkema The photo previously appeared in this old thread: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,3278136
To quote the estimable santafe199, "AT&SF 14 on the point of train #5 at Topeka, KS on January 10, 1959. Photo by William A. Gibson Sr." The 14L is an E6A, by the way, and westbound train 5 would be The Ranger. The Spring/Summer 1959 public timetable shows No.5 into Topeka at 9:45am.

Don Allender Date: 03/23/19 22:14 Re: Santa Fe Info Please Author: MojaveBill Having ridden behind those engines on the Golden Gate in the 1940s, I agree they are the finest warbonnets ever.
Between Bakersfield and Hanford as early as the late 1930s they probably became America's first high-speed trains.. You hardly got comfortable before it was time to get off the train in Hanford!
