This is one of My favorite photos I took in pre BNSF Railway times. I climbed up to the top of the railroad embankment east of South Harlem Avenue near West 46th Street,one Sunday afternoon in December of 1990. Seen here, is a freshly painted lash up of silver and red Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe locomotives in the pre 1971 passenger train" Warbonnet" color scheme revival image, that the Santa Fe reintroduced in 1989. In 1995, the Burlington Northern Railroad, and the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe merged and became todays BNSF Railway. December of 1990, was a relatively warm month that year, with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine to acompany that straw brown scenery.
