On June 3, 1972, a pair of EMD SD24s grind upgrade between Java and Ibis, California, with a solid train of ice reefers, an unusual sight for that late date. This location was west of Needles on the Los Angeles Division's Needles District.
Exhibiting an “open door” policy most likely caused by overheating on a warm May day, Santa Fe SD45R 5329 leads a westbound train drifting downgrade out of Bealville.
Santa F7A 242C and mates leave Lubbock's South Yard en route east. The manifest is crossing Fort Worth & Denver's Lubbock-to-Estelline/Childress branch.

Lubbock, Texas, April 11, 1964.
On August 25, 1971, the eastbound York Canyon coal train is stopped for fueling, servicing, and a crew change at Needles, California. The empty hoppers are en route to York Canyon in northern New Mexico for another load of coal for the Fontana steel mill in Southern California.
And another FB post, eastbound QLANY at Kingman, Az on September 25, 1994. One of the "required" Santa Fe shots on the 90's.
On June 16, 1976, Santa Fe SD45-2 5689 leads an eastbound manifest out of Encino, New Mexico, on the Clovis Sub. Standing at this spot and looking both ways, one can see about seven miles of track. This is truly out in the boonies. There are now two main tracks through here.
Two Santa Fe F45’s and two SD45-2’s guide a westbound pig train down the steep (3.3% grade) north track just west of Cajon Summit. Today, the location is called Silverwood, but I don't recall that name during my visits in the '80's and '90's.
Santa Fe mixed train No. 174 is stopped at Satanta, Kansas, on August 15, 1968, while the crew confers with the agent as to what work needs to be done. The train is en route from Boise City, Oklahoma, to Dodge City, Kansas. This trackage is now operated by the Cimarron Valley Railroad.
I was riding the train at the time and had walked up from the combine at the rear to take this photo.
Pacing photo of Santa Fe GP7 2846 on eastbound local at Shallowater, Texas, May 11, 1961, 65 years ago. Shallowater was on the First District of the Slaton Division (Slaton to Texico), northwest of Lubbock.
A pair of Santa Fe cabooses punctuates the end of a train of empty piggyback flats as it climbs the Tehachapi grade at Cliff Siding.
After shooting a southbound Santa Fe train on the bridge at Larkspur, Colorado, we dropped down to road level to get the caboose on the landmark bridge.
Good subject; the lighting not so much. On June 11, 1968, we're pacing Santa Fe Train No. 75 between Texico and Clovis, New Mexico. This is the California Special, which is running from Houston (with connections from Dallas\Fort Worth) to Clovis, where it will connect with the San Francisco Chief. The train will be discontinued the following month. GE U28CG 354 leads the train.
Santa Fe FP45 108 and mate 101 are being serviced at Winslow, Arizona, on November 4, 1968, on the point of Train No. 18, the eastbound EL CAPITAN.
It is a gloomy December 29, 1991, as AT&SF 4-8-4 3751 crosses Tehachapi Creek just below the famed loop at Walong. The excursion is on Day 3 of a four-day run from Los Angeles to Bakersfield and back. The train will tie up in Barstow that night and leave for LA early the next morning. This is the first excursion for the big steamer, a much-anticipated event in Southern California.
A Classic Santa Fe caboose brings up the markers on an eastbound Santa Fe train at Ilfeld, New Mexico.
t's a cloudy April 17, 1971, a busy day on Tehachapi. SP 3207 is leading the northbound SAN JOAQUIN DAYLIGHT around the iconic loop at Walong, California. The Santa Fe units are off a southbound train left at Woodford, the next siding north. The AT&SF locomotives helped push a stalled northbound SP freight into the Walong siding to clear up for the DAYLIGHT. (You can spot the top of the SP caboose behind the four units.) As soon as the DAYLIGHT clears, the Santa Fe units will follow and couple to their train at Woodford.
It was a cloudy day, but because of all the action, it was one of my best trips to that popular piece of mountain railroading.
My friends and I found Cajon to be a somewhat frustrating place. After getting the “easy” locations, we started to set up at the less-accessible spots. In this case, we were ready for trains on Santa Fe’s south track, and everything ran on the north track in both directions, and a few SP trains passed as well. Here an eastbound auto train climbs the grade with five GP35’s and a GP30 for power.
Santa Fe GP35 3436 accelerates west out of Seligman, Arizona, on March 9, 1972, while the 9843 waits its turn. A 9800 class RSD-15 in 3436's consist makes its smoky presence. Photo by Joe McMillan.
Pulling a stone train, four rebuilt Santa Fe GP7’s work across the prairie ranchland of Buckholts, Texas.
An eastbound Santa Fe manifest crosses the landmark Santa Fe trestle at Larkspur, Colorado. During this era, Santa Fe trains were in the minority on the Joint Line. Traffic was dominated by Burlington Northern Powder River coal trains and returning empties.
