Mid train helpers
Title:  Mid train helpers
Description:  In the 1980s before DPUs were invented, it was unusual to see mid train units. Santa Fe was using these on a westbound coal train passing the station at Barstow. Theyd be put to good use on the upcoming ride through Cajon.

Warbonnets west
Title:  Warbonnets west
Description:  A pair of warbonnets leads a BN unit and an old scheme Santa Fe unit west. The merger was only a few months old at this point, and the power had largely not mixed yet, so the BN unit was unusual.
