Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe Friday - 4 Axle GE's

In a very short time frame renumbering due to an increase from 2,250hp to 3,000 hp, ATSF B23-7 7213 (formerly road number 6379) is seen in Franklin Canyon at Glen Frazer CA. with an eastbound piggyback train. 
ATSF B40-8 7415 is seen at Knightsen, CA. accelerating another westbound piggyback train towards it's final destination of Richmond, CA.
ATSF B36-7 7486 is in charge of a 4 unit lashup leading the 199 hotshot piggyback train around the curve at Bixler, CA.
Thanks for looking! Randy

Man there's a lotta blue and yellow there!  Love seeing those 4 axles on the main line trains.

That first one is awesome, probably a February/March photo with all the green grass.  Loved exploring and chasing Santa Fe trains through there (though it was hard to chase through there).
