AT&SF F7 41C
Title:  AT&SF F7 41C
Description:  Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway F7 41C at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. It is seen here on a special train (I believe it was a Boy Scouts Jamboree train) northbound parked at the AT&SF station at Colorado Springs.

Title:  AT&SF F7 41C
Description:  Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway F7 41C arriving at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1949 (c/n 8310) on EMD Order E1216-A and traded to EMD for new power sometime during 1969. It is seen here on a Boy Scout special train rolling northbound at the AT&SF station at Colorado Springs.

AT&SF F7 46C
Title:  AT&SF F7 46C
Description:  AT&SF F7 46C westbound at Joliet, Illinois on July 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 46C was built as the trailing cab of A-B-B-A locomotive 46 in October 1952 (c/n 17317) on EMD Order 6454. It was renumbered to 300C and leased to Amtrak in June 1971, returned to the AT&SF around October 1973. It was rebuilt to CF7 2543 in November 1973, later becoming INRD 2543. It is seen here leading the second section of Train #23, The Grand Canyon. Since it displays green flags, one would suppose that there is another section of #23 following.

Number 46C was built as the trailing cab of A-B-B-A locomotive 46 in October 1952 (c/n 17317) on EMD Order 6454.

My notes indicate that this is the second section of Train #23, The Grand Canyon. Since it displays green flags, one would suppose that there is another section of #23 following. According to the June 1965 edition of The Official Guide, Train Number 23, The Grand Canyon, via La Junta, departed Dearborn Street Station daily at 11:00 AM CST, arriving in Los Angeles two days later at 6:30 PM. The following is verbatim, including punctuation, from The Official Guide: No. 23 Daily. The Grand Canyon. Pullman and Chair Car Service. Dormitory Lounge Car . . Chicago to Winslow. Sleeping Cars . . Chicago to Los Angeles 6 Sections, 6 Roomettes, 4 Double Bedrooms (Car 237.) Dallas to Los Angeles 10 Roomettes, 3 Double Bedrooms, 2 Compartments (On No. 12-77-75-I Dallas to Barstow.) (Car 231.) Dining Car . . . . Chicago to Winslow. (Fred Harvey Service.)

Title:  AT&SF F7 230C
Description:  AT&SF F7 230C southbound on the Joint Line south of Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Not a very good photo, I was on the northbound D&RGW Royal Gorge hanging out a vestibule door at the time. This locomotive was built in March 1950 as 230C (c/n 9584), the trailing cab of locomotive 230, on EMD Order 3020. It was rebuilt during July 1973 to CF7 2561, later becoming MSRC 7010.

AT&SF F7 261C
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.

AT&SF F7 306
Title:  AT&SF F7 306
Description:  AT&SF F7 306 westbound on the CB&Q at Naperville, Illinois on August 10, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Sorry about the motion blur, I was done shooting photos for the day and was walking home on the street next to the tracks when I heard a horn unlike any on CB&Q locomotives, so I ran over the the tracks and this is what I got. Apparently, there was a problem on the AT&SF somewhere between Chicago and Galesburg, which is likely where this train joined home rails again. Trains of the AT&SF. CRI&P, C&NW and CMStP&P would use the CB&Q tracks to get around a problem on their own rails. And the CB&Q would use a neighbor's rails if there was a problem on its own rails. This locomotive is the second 306, the first 306 (c/n 9607), was renumbered in November 1952 to 325L, later becoming CF7 2419. Second 306 was built in December 1952 (c/n 17434) on EMD Order 6365A, leased to Amtrak between 1971 and 1973, renumbered to 333L and put into freight service, rebuilt in August 1977 to CF7 2443.
