Nostalgia & History > Warbonnet Wednesday: Blue light at Main St

It is an oft-repeated scene, even into the early Amtrak days. A classic Santa Fe Warbonnet is parked with its headlight dark right at Main Street in Newton, Kansas. An unknown couple are inspecting the lead F, including the running gear and frame where a blue light has been hung…
