Remarks & Notes 
A Splash of Color in a Drab Yard

On July 24, 1986, the Interstate Commerce Commission would put the kibosh on the proposed Santa Fe-Southern Pacific merger. At Santa Fe's San Bernardino Shops, because the merger was still considered likely, SDF45 5953 (ex-F45 5903, nee-1903) and SD45 5348 (ex-5568, nee-1867) have just been rolled out of the paint shop in the colors for the new railroad - SPSF - on January 22, 1986. Soon, a switcher will come over and move these two bright engines to the mainline to await an eastbound, which will take them to Barstow for their next assignment.

Freight Cowls are standard locomotives that have a hood that extends the full width of the locomotive. Sadly, most Freight Cowls have been retired, but a few still run on short lines.
