Santa Fe

Santa Fe Diesel. GM Electro-Motive (1967). 3600 hp. RR museum. Union Illinois.

My Pappy worked for the Santa Fe in the 1940s. After the WWII we toured Western America during the twilight days of steam. I commuted into downtown Chicago behind steam. Even today trains are in my blood.

Excellent. This composition emphasizes how massive and imposing it is.
 
Thanks, Reinhold. Nice photograph that brings back memories for me. I have familial ties to railroading, too.
