Description
Railroad Short Name: ATSF, SF
No other F-units captured the spirit of passenger service like Santa Fe’s vast fleet. Emblazoned with the road’s signature Warbonnet scheme, the last order for passenger service F7s began in December of 1952 with #306LAB, and continued through March of 1953, when #314LAB was completed. As the years and miles added up, in the 1960s it was common to see five units powering the flagships, with a random arrangement of A and B units spliced in behind the lead engine.
