Remarks & Notes 
By the mid 1980’s, freight traffic on Santa Fe’s Raton line was sparse, but not virtually nonexistent as it is today. Some of those few trains could, however be heavy enough to require helpers over Raton Pass. Here a westbound train at Raton enters the small yard with a significant group of EMD’s cut in a few cars ahead of the caboose.

Aside from Warbonnets and Chiefs, Santa Fe was a workaday railroad like any other. This album showcases that less glamorous--but no less vital--side of the famous ATSF.

One artifact of the steam era that remains in use to this day; even modern AC traction locomotives need help on the biggest hills.
