Santa Fe 7205
Santa Fe SD45-2 #7205 painted in the ill-fated SPSF merger scheme and also in a number series for the merger leads an Eastbound Intermodal train on the North Main of Cajon Pass near Sullivan's Curve in March of 1986.
This engine was released out of San Bernardino Shops this same month, March of 1986 and was wrecked 2 months later in May.
By the time that it emerged repaired from the wreck damage in August, the merger had been denied so it was painted in the traditional blue and yellow.
Thus making it one of the shortest-lived "Kodachrome" painted engines!
