ATSF 5251 at San Bernardino, CA - 2/7/85 Santa Fe SDF40-2 5251 rolled out of EMD's La Grange, IL, factory in November 1974 as Amtrak SDP40F 511. Amtrak traded several of these passenger units to the Santa Fe in order to acquire some needed switch engines in 1984. ATSF 5251 eventually became BNSF 6961 before retirement. Of the 150 SDP40Fs built, just one remains (BNSF 6976, the former Amtrak 644), preserved by Chris Fussell in Portland, OR. Photo by Craig Walker.
