Last rays of sun on the Warbonnets
Title:  Last rays of sun on the Warbonnets
Description:  The last rays of sun glint off a set of Santa Fe red and silver units. The sun was also setting on that magnificent paint scheme. UPDATE: Maybe I was too hasty on that comment. I just did a trip to LA(March 2019), and saw quite a few of these. The SD 75's are off the roster and now in the PRLX fleet, but there are quite a few GE's still knocking around in varying degrees of faded red and silver. Actually, some of them look pretty good. I saw one train that had three, all in decent paint.
