FM In Texas |
Description: |
During the early 1970s the railfan press spent a lot of ink (and rightfully so) on the SP's Fairbanks Morse fleet in the San Francisco Bay area. The road also had a small OP outpost in El Paso and Tucscon during the same timeframe that didn't seem to get as much attention. 2394 was one of the West Texas FMs- it's shown in the Cotton Street Yard in Jan 1974. |

Santa Fe CF7s and a local |
Description: |
ATSF's publicity department would've been hard pressed to come up with a better scene than this for a local; two CF7s in matching paint, a freshly shopped 50ft boxcar and a cab. (that being said, the company accountants would probably view this as a good reason to discourage local service!) |

West Texas and the Frisco |
Description: |
The Frisco never reached San Francisco but it did reach Quanah Texas with subsidiary Quanah Acme & Pacific running further west into the panhadle. In mid-August 1975 a pair of GP38-2s (436, 667) await a run back to Oklahoma while GP7 519 sits nearby. |

FW&D Shops |
Description: |
The Ft Worth & Denver's main shops were located roughly mid-road at Childress Texas. Although marked for the BN the road (as did sister Colorado & Southern) tried to act like independent roads at this time, keeping separate locomotive rosters and operations from their parent company. NW2 606 and SD7 812 sit here by the sand tower in the summer of 1975. |
