Nice worth all the time spent shooting the old SF.

Great shot of the classic Santa Fe! Nice of you to share.

As best I know the eight of these that the Santa Fe had are the only F-units with six wheel trucks since they were purchased to pull The Super Chief, El Capitan, etc. but spent most of their lives in freight service. Orange Empire Ry Museum has the only operating one left and now a grant to renovate it.

Marty, you're talking about Santa Fe's FP45's - this is an F45, the freight version (of which Santa Fe had an original fleet of 40 units).
