1950's era Santa Fe switching local.

1950's era Santa Fe switching local., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photohgraph a few weeks ago, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

I have always enjoyed the trains, color schemes and equipment of the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad when I was growing up on the near southwest side of Chicago many years ago.

Seen here on the club layout, are my bachman Alco S 4 yard switcher and Athearn A,T & S,F steel cupola caboose leading a 1950's era Santa Fe switching local.
