    The El Capitan, with lead loco #29L, derailed at 90 MPH due to dragging equipment. The Kansas City Chief, lead loco #6L, was also traveling east and derailed when it overtook the derailed El Cap. This occurred on 07/06/1950 near Monica, IL. Santa Fe Railway photo.

    Perhaps, next to the famous war bonnet, the lead loco's scheme is my favorite Santa Fe scheme.

    Were those just exhaust extensions? Or did they contain a spark arrestor?

    2299 was a "fireless" steam locomotive that operated inside the Dallas Trade Mart. It was fed steam from a stationary boiler that vented its smoke outside.
