  1. A Second Chance

    A Second Chance

    BNSF hoppers seem to migrate to northern Alberta on a regular basis, but this one stands out. Santa Fe 350346 appears fully intact, free of any patches or other things that symbolize the demise of the Santa Fe. Here we see him heading back east on CN 314. I caught this same car going north on...
  2. EFVM 9537 and 1204

    EFVM 9537 and 1204

    EFVM 9537 leading an empty train for iron cast doing a meet with EFVM 1204 with a limestone train at Vespasiano yard.
  3. EFVM 9537

    EFVM 9537

    EFVM 9537 is an ex- ATSF B36-7, now rebuilt to BB36-7. Here we see it with the ATSF yellow painting at Vespasiano yard.
  4. Getting Wyed at Miramar

    Getting Wyed at Miramar

    In order to turn around for the return to LA, ATSF 3751 had to make its way back to Miramar where there is a wye onto a short branch line that leads to MCAS Miramar. As it's been many years since the wye has seen an engine this large, great care was taken in its turning, and the 3751 was...
  5. ATSF 3751 at Encinitas

    ATSF 3751 at Encinitas

    Evening approaches as ATSF 3751 speeds through Encinitas on the way back to LA. The return trip was a long one - it didn't arrive in LA until after 10 pm.
  6. Crossing Hawthorne Street

    Crossing Hawthorne Street

    ATSF 3751 crosses Hawthorne Street as it departs downtown San Diego with the skyline looming in the background.
  7. Departing Downtown San Diego

    Departing Downtown San Diego

    ATSF 3751 steams across Hawthorne Street as it pulls out of downtown San Diego, returning to Los Angeles on its historic mainline run.
  8. Highball La Mirada!

    Highball La Mirada!

    ATSF 3751 speeds through La Mirada on its way to San Diego. This spot was once the site of a Santa Fe depot. The large palm tree is the only thing that remains from that original site.
  9. Warbonnet

    Warbonnet

    NS 19K was pulled bu BNSF 723 on May 18, 2008. Photo captured at Danes Siding just east of Logansport.
  10. Dash 8-40B at Corwith

    Dash 8-40B at Corwith

    One of my favorite Diesel classes of the Santa Fe. She's having a walkway light bulb changed while being serviced at Corwith Yard sometime in the mid-90's. Those were great days. Bring a box of donuts up to the tower, sign a release, be a good citizen and you're welcome on the property.
  11. Going Away.

    Going Away.

    Joe McMillan, myself and I think, Tom Casey, shooting one of the first Kodachrome lash-ups coming through McCook, IL heading west. I don't have a picture of Joe here but I do have a shot taken that day of his Brown Ford with "SPSF" licence plates...
  12. 5 ea SD45-2 in 2008

    5 ea SD45-2 in 2008

    A sunny 20' day with a harsh wind as a westbound Dash 9 leads the way out of Willow Springs down the Chilli Sub through Burr Ridge.
  16. ATSF 999727 and moon

    ATSF 999727 and moon

    The moon sets over Williams, AZ as the sun is starting to rise over the eastern hills highlighting this brightly painted ATSF caboose.
  17. Ransom Illinois

    Ransom Illinois

    BNSF DPU action by the very large grain loading facility in Ransom, along the old ATSF. That is the loader for the covered hoppers, directly behind the trailing unit, over on the circle track. When you blow the lead approaching shot, hold on for a 2nd chance at the DPU power.
  18. Hodgkins, Illinois

    Hodgkins, Illinois

    BNSF 613 makes just another autorack train a liitle more interesting, passing a cantilever signal in Hodgkins.

    Kernan, Illinois

    Westbound through Kernan, Illinois, on the old ATSF with four different BNSF paint schemes up front.
  20. ATSF 2940

    ATSF 2940

    An ATSF Geep working outside Willow Springs. If your looking, you can still find sets of five Geeps racing trains across Illinois on the old Sante Fe.
