I can see three, possibly four, AT&SF warbonnets in this terrific image.  What explains so many Santa Fe trains in Dallas?  Did a Red River Shootout attract special trains?

Yes it did.  But one of the trains is for San Angelo Tx., the one on the far right.   With early 60's date you have to wonder if #7 an 0-6-0 , is working the other end of the station.

Quite the warbonnet display.  It looks to me like the consist on the far left is a set of Hi-levels.  Probably there to transport the "Hi-revels" from the shoot out.  I bet that consist with the E unit is actually train # 116, the Dallas section of the Texas Chief.

I don't recall ever seeing this photo, where did you find it?

Old Santa Fe Railway Dallas based passenger train and engine crews worked to and from Brownwood, TX. On the far right.
Old Santa Fe Railway Cleburne,  TX based passenger train and engine crews worked between Dallas and Cleburne via Purcell, OK.
