The Original Warbonnet
Time for another look at some of the very first railroad photos I took.
By the time I took this picture, Amtrak had been in operation for just over one year. Santa Fe’s F-units that had been in passenger service were bumped into freight service, primarily in Texas and the mid-west.
Many of these F-units were re-painted into freight colors, which they wore for several years prior to being re-manufactured into CF7’s.
