Remarks & Notes 
A Splash of Color in a Drab Yard

On July 24, 1986, the Interstate Commerce Commission would put the kibosh on the proposed Santa Fe-Southern Pacific merger. At Santa Fe's San Bernardino Shops, because the merger was still considered likely, SDF45 5953 (ex-F45 5903, nee-1903) and SD45 5348 (ex-5568, nee-1867) have just been rolled out of the paint shop in the colors for the new railroad - SPSF - on January 22, 1986. Soon, a switcher will come over and move these two bright engines to the mainline to await an eastbound, which will take them to Barstow for their next assignment.
