Remarks & Notes 
In a clear case of lese-majeste, Santa Fe’s Super Chief, Train 18 behind FP45’s 100/103, has been forced to take the siding at Rowe, New Mexico, and cool its wheels waiting for a westbound York Canyon unit coal train to pass. Further indignities are on the way this February, 20, 1969. In two years, Amtrak will take charge of the brand-name train, and service will decline to the point that Santa Fe will demand that Amtrak rename the train. The FP45’s, designed by EMD especially for Santa Fe, will be reassigned to fast freight service.

The Santa Fe's warbonnet paint scheme on passenger diesel locomotives was one of the most iconic in railroading. It appealed to travelers and modellers alike, and helped brand Santa Fe all the way from Chicago to California and Texas.
