An F-unit phix phor my phans....

Early this 1968 summer morning this Santa Fe freight dragged north over Raton Pass and into Pueblo, Colorado with a 3 unit helper set leading another 4 units in the other Santa Fe paint... the money paint.

The Warbonnet scheme was pretty but freight paid the bills.

Ah yes, the more lesser known warbonnet paint scheme.

I'm afraid they have been gone for a long, LONG, time. A lot of these units became CF7's and a few of those are still around though.
