Warbonnet Wednesday: Meet me at Yeso
Author: santafe199

Here’s a slide by my late friend Gary Rich I could have easily posted for “Monday Meets”. Warbonnet meeting Warbonnet over 30 years ago...

1. AT&SF 541 leads train 1-199-12 meeting train S HOLB-12 (unknown FP45 at the right). This is Yeso, NM on June 13, 1991.
Original Kodachrome slide by the late Gary Rich.

Thanks for looking back!

That swayback tells me that this FP45 is #91, but the long-hood mounted Leslie horn with forward-pointing bells pointing in slightly different directions and the flag at the front were also found on 91.

I got a PM from a good friend telling the symbol for the FP45-led train I’d probably wrong, indicating the train is also westbound as the 199 is. When I get home, if I can dig up Gary ‘s slide I will double check the symbol. Either way this is why I like train numbers instead of alphabet soup symbols…

Ineresting view, those Warbonnet colors still stand out in the high, harsh summer light...
