Remarks & Notes |
FORT SUMNER NM June 21 1986 -- On the longest day of the year Santa Fe GP35u 2964 (ex-TPW GP40 1000), SD45u 5408 and Kodachrome SD45-2u 7217 are eastbound over U.S. 60 with a TOFC train. EMD built the unit for TP&W in May 1969. 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 and renumbered to 2964 but retained its GP40 carboy. On Jan 28 1988 it was wrecked at Pico Rivera CA and was scrapped.
