NorCal Hotshot

The 199 train disturbs a peaceful July afternoon in Franklin Canyon, Santa Fe's entrance to the Bay Area. At the time, seeing a blue and yellow unit leading warbonnets probably would have been a major disappointment. However, a freshly painted EMD F45 could certainly be considered as good as a warbonnet, if not better.

 

The training Super Fleet power appears to be a GP60M sandwiched between a pair of GP60 B units. With power sets like this, it isn't hard to see why Franklin Canyon was THE place to go railfan in mid-90s NorCal.
