Santa Fe Locomotives at Barstow

Five Santa Fe locomotives are sanded and fueled at the Barstow locomotive facility.  An SD40-2 and an SD45-2 prepare to lead a piggyback train eastbound across the Arizona and New Mexico desert towards Kansas City for interchange to the St. Louis-San Francisco "Frisco" Railway.
A GP35 and a GP9 prepare to lead a westbound mine run towards Boron.  Meanwhile, a lone SSB1200 switch engine shoves cars in the vast Barstow yard to build trains.  Barstow truly is a key railroad community.
