Athearn EMD GP 35 wearing the 1960's era Santa Fe blue and yellow color scheme., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.

Growing up on the near southwest side of Chicago during the 1960's, 70's and 80's, I have to say that the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe is proboubly my all time favorite railroad.

My Athearn model of an Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad EMD model GP 35 roadswitcher, is decorated in the 1960's era Santa Fe blue with yellow ends color scheme, that was used by the Santa Fe from 1960 to 1972.

I model the 1960's and 70's era freight trains from when I was growing up in Chicago.

Thanks.
