Just as Raymond Loewy and Fairbanks-Morse had envisioned. Wonderful photograph Joe! Thanks for sharing.

Love those FMs Joe. I am so gratified to seem the "old heads" breaking out the good stuff, getting tech savvy and sharing these treasures with the ages. Almost as good as being there!

Outstanding! I wish Wak' would still look like that.

Great railroad. Great state. Great photo. More, please. Anything from Salina?

The FM's were probably towing the EMD back to the shop.

As far as towing it back to the shop you might be correct. Originally EMD and GE intentionally made it impossible for them to run multiple unit with any loco' other than GM and GE. Fairbanks, ALCO, and Baldwin-Lima created MU capabilities so they could all MU, but EMD and GE refused to join them. The governor system joint partner was Woodward Governor out of Rockford Illinois.
