I've seen a few of your photos Drew...and this one is right at the top. Book quality. I saw that train a lot when I was stationed @ Edwards AFB for 3 years and should have photographed it more than I did. I did ride it a couple of times, the last was in April of '71 when Bob & Jan Hogan, Virgil & LaVada Staff and I all got on in Berkeley. I think that they detrained in Bakersfield or near there so they could return that day on 51. I continued on to Mojave where I met Jim Newsom, an ATSF employee who was great company & put me on the westbound Chief early the next morning.
Back to your photo, very well done, I love it.
