On August 21, 1991, 34 years ago, Santa Fe B23-7 6406 leads westbound trailers up the grade of the Caprock escarpment between the sidings of Buenos and Southland in rattlesnake country of West Texas. This is the Texas mainline connecting Galveston/Houston/Dallas with the Transcon at Clovis, New Mexico. The train has just left rugged ranching and oil country and will top out in a few minutes in very flat farm and oil country. Photo by Joe McMillan.
A pair of former Santa Fe GP30s and a blue Southwestern Railroad GP40 sandwich a work train headed to Peru Hill to dump ties and rail for a siding project. The supplies were collected on the disused northern portion of the SW line near Hanover. After spending most of the day unloading in Peru Hill, the train made an evening run back to Hanover where it will remain until Friday for another southbound run.

Palazzo Reale di Fès,
Costruito nel XIV secolo è uno dei più grandi e antichi del Marocco.
Il palazzo fu ubicato all'esterno della vecchia medina; dopo la sua costruzione, fu edificata una nuova medina, Fès el-Jdid, per soddisfare le esigenze del palazzo.
Come la maggior parte delle moschee e dei palazzi in Marocco, il Palazzo Reale di Fès non si può visitare.
I turisti possono solo osservare le impressionanti porte che conducono al palazzo: sono sette porte di dimensioni diverse, che rappresentano i sette giorni della settimana e i sette livelli della monarchia.
Royal Palace of Fes,
Built in the 14th century, it is one of the largest and oldest in Morocco.
The palace was located outside the old medina; after its construction, a new medina, Fès el-Jdid, was built to meet the needs of the palace.
Like most mosques and palaces in Morocco, the Royal Palace of Fes cannot be visited.
Tourists can only observe the impressive doors leading to the palace: they are seven doors of different sizes, representing the seven days of the week and the seven levels of the monarchy.

Santa Fe's longest branch line, the San Angelo Subdivision, ran 386 miles across desolate West Texas from San Angelo Junction (west of Brownwood on the Texas main line) to Presidio, Texas, on the Mexican border.
In October 1968, it took me three days of engine and caboose riding to make the trip from Brownwood to Presidio. The first day got me from Brownwood to San Angelo, 71 miles, mostly at night; the second day had me riding a trailing F-unit from San Angelo to Fort Stockton, 167 miles, on train 129; and the third day was a caboose ride from Fort Stockton to Presidio, 145 miles. Yes, it was a long trip. The last segment, from Fort Stockton to Presidio, was mainly at night.
We arrived at the border station just after sun up. The crew went on their rest. I wandered around the area all-day, going to Ojinaga on the Mexican side to photograph the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad (Ch-P), one of my all-time favorite railroads.
Late in the afternoon, the crew went on duty and did some switching and shoved a long cut of cars down to the International bridge to transfer to the Ch-P. In this scene at sunset, October 18, 1968, the units (a GP7 and two GP7Bs) and caboose pause in front of the station while the crew gets their orders to head back to Fort Stockton. It will be another all-night caboose trip, but I will get off at Alpine, Texas, in the wee hours and get a motel room. The following day, I will catch SP's SUNSET LIMITED to El Paso, another Santa Fe freight to Belen, New Mexico, and more freights back to my home in Topeka, Kansas.
The San Angelo Subdivision was once the main line of the KCM&O, a segment in Arthur Stilwell's dream to build a railroad from Kansas City to the Gulf of California, a shorter distance to the Pacific than Kansas City to California ports. Santa Fe acquired the KCM&O in 1928, but it never developed as a through route as planned.
The Subdivision was sold in 1998, and there are still attempts to establish through service.
The depot, shown in this image, was destroyed by fire a few years later.
She hasn't any giant 16" gun barrels hanging out the front but this ole girl has some years on her coming from 1956 -58 period , the latter date if the plate is anything to go by . Colour seems right with the big gun shots uploaded previously .. and she parked overlooking the bay but a far distance from Etajima Bay but not that many years difference in there age .. an historical exhibit .. well ..

During my weekend visit to Tehachapi Pass the weekend of 1/11/1997, I started seeing the beginning of the end for Santa Fe power. There was green BN and a few BNSF Heritage I units mixed in with war bonnets and classic Santa Fe blue and yellow. But there were also a few solid Santa Fe lashups to enjoy. Here is solid blue and yellow lashup on an S-RICH with a standard cab GP60 in the lead. It had crested the Summit a few miles back and is cruising down the 50mph section between Tehachapi and Warren. I was hoping for a chance at a little more white stuff but this was about the most that I saw.
..come sospettavo, lo spazio alla fantasia, quando si usa il ferro fluido, è stai limitato.
Il Ferrofluid e un preparato a base di ferro fluido. Come tale, conserva le sue proprietà "calamitose" se sottoposto ad un campo magnetico. Ci pensavo da tempo ma ho sempre tralasciato per via della ovvietà dei risultati. Non c'è molto margine alla inventiva e fantasia (un po' come per gli omini in miniatura). Non so quindi quanto potrò discostarmi dagli innumerevoli lavori già fatti con questo prodotto. L'unico davvero fuori delle righe e convincente è quello di Fabian Oefner

An eastbound Santa Fe manifest, led by a GP30 and a half-dozen GP35’s, passes two Southern Pacific SD9’s on a work train at Cliff. Caliente is visible over the cab of the lead unit. All of the GP30’s and GP35’s running on the Santa Fe at that time took me back to my days watching the Reading Company a decade earlier. Those two models were the backbone of the Reading’s second-generation road power. I checked an old calendar, and this was taken on a Thursday.
A Médina is a walled section of a city, usually defining the old city. In Fes there are twisting, turning narrow streets of cobblestones and clay. Watch out for donkeys loaded high with goods on their backs. Also watch out for the mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles and handcarts that comes charging towards you demanding right of way: not a place for the intrepid.
In a Médina you can purchase anything in leather, clothing, jewelry and handicrafts, not to forget the sweets with 100s of bees on them. Haggling is the name of the game, just remember to keep a firm hand on your phone and wallet.
La mise en scène, la réalisation et le choix du lieu sont des idées de Fanny, je n'ai fait que déclencher, ainsi qu'Arnaud d'ailleurs, qui a des photos "terribles". :-)
Santa Fe SD45-2 5864 led an eastbound stack train underneath the classic ATSF signal bridge at Niota in 1997.
Aided by a Superfleet C40-8W, the Chicago-bound hotshot would blast across the Chillicothe Subdivision in classic fashion.
Searchlight signals can still be found in large numbers at this location.

In this winter scene from February 16th, 1997 a Wisconsin Central EMD SD45 and F45 of Santa Fe heritage are resting near the old C&NW roundhouse at North yard in Green Bay.
Because the startup of the WC is generally associated with cascade green ex-Burlington Northern units as the power for many trains, it’s easy to assume that’s where most of their SD45s had come from.
But over the years the WC accumulated quite a few more in total numbers from the Santa Fe, most of which were in better condition due to various upgrades they had gone through while still on the ATSF roster.
So what had been some of the finest power on the Santa Fe, went on to become some of the finest of the Wisconsin Central Ltd. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
