| This westbound Santa Fe freight has just made the left turn at Kern Junction and is back on home rails. ATSF 5997 is an "FP45u" or "SDFP45" in this incarnation; she would later be Kodachrome SPSF 5997, then red and silver warbonnet ATSF 105:5, ATSF 5997:2 and finally ATSF 97, becoming the last operating FP45u on BNSF. Donated to Age of Steam Railroad Museum, Dallas TX in 1999. Date of photo approximate. |
