In a going away shot, a pair of Santa Fe GP35's, the remanufactured 2845 and not yet upgraded 3404 shove the Flagstaff Local out towards the Railhead facility located East of town in August of 1983.
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.

I guess that the back of semaphore signals is better than nothing but I sure wish that I would have followed this guy and got him passing more "blades"!
Santa Fe SD45 #5331 on the point of the Eastbound QEPKC pulls out of the East end of Ojita siding in New Mexico on April 13th, 1990.
It had just met the Westbound Southwest Chief.
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.

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". :-)
A pair of new Santa Fe C40-8's are the trailing power on PIEL. The power is backing in to get its train at the West end of Conway Yard in Freedom, PA on August 16, 1992.
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 ©

A westbound has stopped just short of Hazelton, KS on Santa Fe's single track transcontinental mainline in southern Kansas. Though only about a year old the SD75M is looking like a real road warrior.
Étroite, c'est pourtant une des rues principales de la médina.
La médina de Fès est une ville moyenâgeuse : certaines ruelles sont tellement étroites qu'un homme peut tout juste y passer. Ce sont souvent des" derbs" : lacis d'impasses qui conduisent seulement à des habitations.
