Faux F Friday

The power of a westbound thirty-nine car Santa Fe TOFC train pours it on as it makes the assault on Glorietta Pass at Rowe, New Mexico.

 

The leader is one of the latest additions to the Santa Fe roster. In late 1984, the AT&SF acquired eighteen of Amtrak's ill-fated SDP40F's and rebuilt them to SD40-2 standards, reclassifying them as SDF40-2. Although not an F45 or FP45, the units have the same "family" look as that generation of F-units.
