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

    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.

    Looks like spark arrestor screens, can barely see thru them.
