Always great to see FP45s in their original intended, if short-lived, use. But that transition car does stick out like a sore thumb, though!

A very nice, unique photo. Thanks for posting it.

Nice bit of history! So many unusual details all in one image is a great catch.

The transition baggage car may not be misplaced in this train, in the summer months it was common for Santa Fe to have to add standard coaches to the train. At times when the train ran as two sections, the El Capitan section may of had up to 4 or 5 coaches in front of the hi-levels.
