Remarks & Notes

The hottest train on the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, the Super C piggyback train, crests the summit of Cajon Pass on a snowy March morning. This piggyback train has a faster schedule between Los Angeles and Chicago than Amtrak's Southwest Limited has! As usual, this morning's train has a quartet of SD45-2 diesels for power, with ATSF 5694 on the point.

(Cajon Pass, California – March 5, 1976)

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
