Nostalgia & History > F-unit Friday: EB Warbonnet at Ottawa

My word... I do believe this is the way an F-unit is supposed to look! Even if it does happen to be in freight service. Of course... I may be just a wee bit biased in favor of my beloved Uncle John Santa Fe... :^)

1. AT&SF 336L leads an eastbound manifest by the old passenger platform at Ottawa, KS. The consist is directly over the power switch leading down the Tulsa main line. This place used to be called Ottawa Jct. Photo date: May 1968.

Thanks for looking back!

The Fs in the 325 class were dual-service (could be used in psgr or frt service). and were geared for 85MPH. 

Love that shot, Lance!

A truly special ATSF image.

Interesting to see a baggage car back there behind the first piggyback flat. 

Man!  It looks like a hot day in Ottawa!
