The Santa Fe will never die

#693 has not see the paint shop since before the merger as viewed in this early 2006 shot. #693 is a GE C44-9W and keeps its Santa Fe number. The only thing to identify that this locomotive is part of the BNSF system is the small "BNSF" stencil under her road number. Here the Santa Fe veteren passes my Railfan Jeep "Jessica" Eastbound at North Stratford IL.
