Santa Fe Trainmaster H24-66?

No. Didn't Rusty already give you the correct answer, over on the 3-Rail Trains Forum?

As posted on the 3-rail forum, Santa Fe had no Train Masters.

And the H16-44 is not a "baby" Train Master.  The H16-66 is. 

The "baby" moniker is more of a railfan classification because of it's similarity (four feet shorter, if I recall correctly) to the Train Master, it was not an FM catalog description.  Only the C&NW, Milwaukee Road and TVA had "baby" Train Masters.

Here are the railroads that purchased the H24-66 Trianmaster locomotives:

"Fairbanks-Morse produced 107 units between 1953 and 1957, and its partner Canadian Locomotive Company produced 20 units. The locomotives produced by the Canadian Locomotive Company were all delivered to the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Virginian got the bulk of the F-M produced units with 25 delivered. The Southern Pacific, Reading, CNJ and Lackawanna railroads were among the others who purchased the units. Canadian Pacific number 8905 is the only surviving Train Master and is still in operation at the Canadian Railway Museum in Quebec."

Dad,

I like that picture.

BTW, CN, for a time, had one -

You can have any flavor of TM you want...as long as it's CP !!!!!

This was my favorite for years... and I never did own a Lionel version...always wanted a scale version with operating fans...

Pennsy and Wabash had them!

Santa Fe had a lot of Trainmasters, at least one at every home terminal.  However, they did not have any Train Masters.

Santa Fe did have 4-axle F-M H16-44's.  When new, they wore zebra stripes and were numbered in the 2800's.  Shortly after delivery, they were renumbered into the 3000's to make room for the growing GP7 fleet.  When new, they ran in California, but, around 1955, all were transferred to Kansas.  They were excellent on locals, as they were very responsive when the throttle was advanced, and a good crew could really switch a lot of cars, fast.
