I would like to take a walk amongst all these beasts! Looks like one of the SD75's is all wrapped up about ten units down on the right. I read an article in an old moder railroader magazine that said this used to be a common practice when units were gonna be sitting awhile. They called it "cocooning".

What is the definition of a "warbonnet"???
|
@ZAC It's an original Santa Fe paint scheme that came out in 1939 on the E1 passenger units. The SD75 on the left is painted in the original scheme.

Sorry I was wrong it came out in 1937 on the E1's.

Don't be surprised if they start moving soon, with Canadian National on a used locomotive buying binge (and they already own 175 SD75s).
