Superelevation II

Description

Among my photos I have quite a few that have similarities. One of the things I noticed in opening up a box of old Santa Fe sides is the pattern of NOT putting GE U-boats as the lead engine. Here is one of several trains where the lead is a GP20 with a pair of U-boats behind... I wonder why.

This is a westbound on the TransCon. In the distance is the bridge across the Chicago Ship and Sanitary Canal. I previously posted a shot El Cap drumhead on that bridge. [link]

ATSF's freight scheme was probably one of the better freight schemes out there. Lovely shot.
