Hey Marty, thanks for that first image! I don’t think I’ve ever seen any pictures of the swing bridge at Fort Mad being open like that…

The unit it's coupled to is probably the 96.  I'm not aware of anything special going on in Albuquerque in September 1991 that would have required a pair of FP45's, so they may have just been passing through, but a week earlier, 93 and 96 had been together hauling Railroad Days specials in Topeka, KS.

By the way, in photo 6, the Missouri River bridge is at "Sibley."
