Santa Fe Train 408 ATSF SF30C 9510 Timpas CO
Roaring past the classic semaphore signals guarding the east end of Timpas, Colorado siding, westbound manifest train #408 is seventeen miles out of La Junta on Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision.
Led by SF30C 9510 in the SP-SF proposed merger paint scheme, train 408 will need the horsepower of all three big six axle units up front and three more buried mid-train to ascend Raton Pass.
Once a robust line hosting mainfests, TOFC Q-trains and coal trains, the Raton Sub has fallen mostly silent except for the daily passage of Amtrak's two Southwest Chief passenger trains along with occasional BNSF extras and work trains.
