I grew up on the near southwest side of Chicago Illinois during the 1960's ,70's and 80's era, and lived a couple of miles north of the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad's Corwith Yard facility.

The Santa Fe was litterally a "Childhood Favorite" for Me, and I enjoyed it until the eventual merger with the Burlington Northern in 1995, that created todays BNSF Railway. I still love and miss the old Santa Fe to this day.

I spotted this photo at My Link page Fallen Flags.Org, located to the right of Your computer screen at www.rr-fallenflags.org

Railfan photographer Richard Yaw, photographed these two A,T & S,F diesel locomotives, at the Corwith Yard locomotive servicing terminal near West 40th Street, about 4 blocks east of South Pulaski Road in Chicago Illinois.

Notice the two distinct A,T& S,F color schemes here.

The locomotive to the right, is wearing the 1960's era Santa Fe blue and yellow, wich was used from 1960 until 1972. The locomotive to the left, is wearing the post 1972 Yellow Bonnet color scheme.

Happy memories!

Thanks.
