AT&SF VO-1000 2218 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1943 (c/n 67725) it was retired March 30, 1971 and went to PNC in June of that year. Note that it is stencilled for both the AT&SF and C&S. At the time of this photo, this unit was assigned as the station switcher at the joint AT&SF/C&S depot. Those two roads had a switching agreement with AT&SF providing a Baldwin or two, an RSD4 (#2107), and a GE 44 ton (#464), and the C&S providing EMD products. It appears that the C&S handled the switching in Denver, and the AT&SF handled the switching in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The C&S locomotives were lettered C&S over AT&SF, and the AT&SF locomotives were lettered AT&SF (or Santa Fe) over C&S. |
