I love the Santa Fe livery. Have all my life. Nothing ever seems to come close to it. So beautiful to look at. Whether in the high desert or the snow capped sierra, they have always looked awesome.

I agree.
Great shots, guys. I've always especially like the passenger trains headed by E or F units and curving around as in the fourth shot shown.

Growing up in So Cal I modeled the Santa Fe in my HO years. I still love it and have much of it on my O layout even though it's set in the east!!!
Is this photo entering Raton Pass??? I will be riding the Southwest Chief in the very near future.....a GREAT ride through Raton.....
I have to agree Pete....love that paint scheme...
Great pictures everyone...

A great scheme.......developed by the art department at EMD, along with all the other magnificent paint schemes displayed by railroads on their diesel locomotives. General Motors applied their automobile marketing techniques to locomotive marketing.
