Out in the desert |
| Description: |
My friend Dan Heller was driving with his brother to Arizona in the summer of 1980, and knowing of my interest in trains, shot some photos from the car. This is an eastbound somewhere in western New Mexico. Looks like an SD 45 leading, with another in the trailing position. Not bad for a non fan from a moving car!! |

Chasing west |

A westbound behind an SD45-2 and SD45 outrun us as we try to keep up near Gallup NM. In those days, with a 55 MPH speed on the highways, it was common for the trains to pass cars on the highway. |

Mid train helpers |
| Description: |
In the 1980s before DPUs were invented, it was unusual to see mid train units. Santa Fe was using these on a westbound coal train passing the station at Barstow. Theyd be put to good use on the upcoming ride through Cajon. |

End of the line |
| Description: |
The northern most location in the plains states, and the only place Santa Fe went in Nebraska, was Superior, a town it shared with a more familiar name to Cornhuskers, the BN. Still, there must have been some decent business on the line, judging by the five units parked here, including three GP 39's, a unit only a few roads bought. |
