Nostalgia & History > Sunday morning Santa Fe . . .

.   .   .   in AUG '90 the last three paint jobs of the Santa Fe Railway just happened to be lined up on the west end of the Hobart Yard diesel facility in Los Angeles, CA.

I like the one in the center best.  Thanks for sharing JB.

I like the shot too and echo previous comment about missing those days. Bill Webb

Great shot! I only saw a Kodachrome and a warbonnet together once, and it may have been a leased Kodachrome. There wasn't much overlap.

A half-dozen SPSF-painted C30-7's that were off the property as GE lease units when Santa Fe was making its final push to repaint Kodachromes returned to the fold after the BNSF merger and ran for a few years during the early "colorful" period before being purged with the rest of the C30-7 fleet in 2002.

Other than that, Santa Fe had everything that was red and yellow back in blue and yellow by late 1990 or very early 1991, so the window to catch SPSF-painted power alongside repainted red and silver FP45's was about a year and a half, and with the new red and silver widenosers about half a year.
