This is correct, both locomotives were helpers out of Belen east to Mountainaire. Although
Santa Fe steam lasted a little longer than on the SP, it was confined to pretty much this
location and just the two wheel arrangements in the last year or so. Contrast this with the
SP who used 12 different wheel arrangements in 1956!
