An Athearn Santa Fe freight train.

An Athearn Santa Fe freight train., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photo recently, at The Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

I grew up on the near southwest side of the city of Chicago Illinois, during the 1960's and 70's era, and I enjoy modeling the trains from My youth during this period.

One of My all time favorite railroads from this part of Chicago that I fondly remember, was the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe.

My Athearn EMD GP 35 shown here, is decorated in the 1960's era Santa Fe blue with the yellow ends and letting color scheme, wich was used by the A,T & S,F from 1960 until 1972.

Thanks.
