Good steam engine firemen pride themselves on a clean stack, and as Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751 speeds eastward across northern Arizona, the fireman is doing an exemplary job. 1992 was a banner year for this Northern, as it operated on its longest trip since being restored to service a year earlier - Los Angeles, California, to Chicago, Illinois, and return for a series of Santa Fe employee appreciation trips. The engine is seen here at Yucca, Arizona, on the last day of August 1992. The engine performed flawlessly for the whole trip.
