Title:
AT&SF F7 261C
Description:
AT&SF F7 261C, west of Las Animas, Colorado on August 17, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in August 1951 as 261C (c/n 13732), the trailing cab of A-B-B-A locomotive 261 built on EMD Order 3095A (EMD Order 3095B was for the B-units), it was rebuilt in August 1977 to CF7 2446, later BMRG 601, later still RBMN 1502. Although it has the appearance of an F3, I presume it has lost its Farr Aire grills somewhere along the way. All sources I've found list it as an F7. Odd photo angle to be sure, I shot this from a car traveling in the opposite direction. I believe this train is passing over an Arroyo, a dry creek bed that fills with water during the rainy season in desert areas. I only know that word because the Western Pacific had a Budd stainless steel 10-6 sleeper named SILVER ARROYO, numbered 861, part of the WP's contribution to the California Zephyr, and I looked that word up in the dictionary.
