| Fort Sumner NM June 21 1986 -- On the longest day of the year Santa Fe GP35u 2964 is eastbound over U.S. 60 with a TOFC train. EMD built the unit in May 1969 as TP&W 1000. Santa Fe acquired it on Jan. 1 1984 when it absorbed the TP&W and the locomotive was renumbered to ATSF 3461. In August 1984 it was rebuilt, repainted, renumbered to 2964 and designated a GP35u despite retaining its GP40 carbody. On Jan. 28 1988 it was wrecked at Pico Rivera CA and was scrapped. (Roster information from atsfrr.net) This unit was Santa Fe's lone GP40. See http://atsf.railfan.net/gp40/ for more information. |
