C&S AT&SF SW7 154 at Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The short story; I shot this photo out the dutch door of an eastbound Denver Zephyr, a practice that soon came under the scrutiny of the crew and got me banished to my Slumbercoach room until the next crew change. Note that the unit is painted in the CB&Q switcher paint scheme, lettered for the C&S and AT&SF. The C&S and AT&SF had an arrangement where each road supplied a few locomotives to a pool, and one crew (and locomotive) would handle the switching chores for both roads at Denver and at least as far as Coloroado Springs. Locomotives lettered C&S AT&SF (top to bottom, or, left to right) were owned by the C&S and manned by C&S crews. Locomotives lettered AT&SF C&S were AT&SF owned and manned. |
