ATSF 91 - Anaheim, CA - 5/22/90 |
| Description: |
On July 4th, 1989, Santa Fe Railway unveiled a pair of FP45s in the resurrected red and silver Warbonnet scheme, dubbed the Superfleet scheme. These were repainted after the railroad restored the California Railroad Museum’s F7A and B units into Warbonnet colors for a public relations film, and the road’s executives realized what a valuable scheme it was. So valuable, in fact, that the new Superfleet scheme was painted on all new power delivered with wide noses, beginning with the GP60Ms. The first two GP60Ms arrived in Los Angeles on May 22, 1990 and, coincidently, that same day a passenger special behind a pair of FP45s (91 and 90) operated on the railroad’s Surf Line. The train, carrying officials of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority were touring the various lines on which they hoped to begin Metrolink commuter train service, is seen here passing through the Amtrak station in Anaheim, California. |

ATSF 100 - San Bernardino, CA - 5/23/90 |
| Description: |
Early in the morning on May 23, 1990, Santa Fe GP60Ms 100 and 101 (spliced with FP45s 96 and 92, as well as business car "Mountainaire") lead train 2-891-23 past FP45s 91 and 90 on a passenger special. The GP60Ms are returning east on their first trip after delivery from EMD. The four-car passenger special would depart later, headed for Cadiz (between Barstow and Needles) and return to try and persuade investors that garbage trains to a proposed garbage dump would be feasible. |
