This photo has a lot in common with a poorly totaled checking account register... when you go back far enough, you find the point where everything looked right once again. SP F's in Texas. Awesome!

Mitch is right about this SP picture. The checkbook balanced at this time (figures and appearance.) Then came the red ink slowly at first. Then big fleets of chopped nose units slowly getting more road weary. Up came along and is attempting to get the check book back in balance but nothing will ever look better than the black widows hauling through the West Texas prairie.

Complete with head-end stock cars. And, what do you want to bet those box cars represent single car shipments that
were the order of the day in this era?
