Description

I swear my titling is getting ridiculous. :slow:

The Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, KS has a small handful of rail rolling stock from days gone by, including a nice ATSF Pacific and this gorgeously fairly-well kept ATSF FP45 #93. Here she sits, cleaned up, restored, and on static display right on top of the viaduct over Douglas Ave. in downtown Wichita. Behind her is an old ATSF caboose.

UPDATE: This shot was featured on the cover of the railroad classifieds magazine "Sterling Rail". A finished image of it can be seen here --> [link]

I didn't get paid for it, but it was completely random and out of left field. I have a physical copy that will be framed and hanging in my living room soon, and it's also on certain websites as banner ads (RR picture archives had one up on their forum, thanks Sully).

Santa Fe 93 might’ve seen better days, but that doesn’t stop it from being my favorite Santa Fe FP45 locomotive. I do hope that it does get restored with new paint and have it running again in the future.
