Nostalgia & History > Toss Back Tuesday: 194 at Dodge!

Of the six of us 80s KS Gang characters my “bro” John Arbuckle was more or less a perfectionist when he was behind the view-finder. Often times he would pass on some shot while any of the rest of us would be happily burning away at our stock of Kodachrome. But when he did shoot his motordrive was in high gear, as seen below:

Thanks for looking back!

Nice, pair of GP40Xs on the point!

Awesome, in the decade prior to the arrival of the Red & Silver 'Superfleet', a consist like the one in John's photo would be my definition of what a hot Santa Fe train would look like.  And complete with Santa Fe trailers up front.

Great photo and scan!

Cool SF shot...

Ah the richness of K25, John's film of choice

The youngins will never know the anticipation of waiting weeks to finish a roll, send it off for processing, and the thrill of opening the little yellow box and reveling in the results...

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I even miss that certain odor when a brand roll was opened up for loading into my A-100… 😚

Lance-that would be a CJ-1 194 of the 30th orginating out of Kansas City to Denver 1st section.  The 194 was the one and only intermodal/auto/mixed train depending on volumes to run between KC and Denver.
