ATSF 5595 |
Description: |
We're standing near the shore of Lake Procter, across the tracks from the Monolith cement plant. In wet years, like 1983, this area will fill up with water and becomes a lake lasting for a few months. On this cold March morning ATSF 5595 can be seen across the lake heading up hill with a long line of red Santa Fe boxcars in tow. |

ATSF 5595 may be EMD serial number 35000 but that means nothing to its day to day existence moving freight for Santa Fe. |

Description: |
Having come to a stop to let traffic ahead clear, we have a chance to check out a unique feature on this unit. It may be the only not yet rebuilt Santa Fe SD45 to have an air conditioner. A standard item on rebuilt SD45s, it may mean this unit was wrecked and the air conditioner was added during repairs. No matter, for it's one feature that isn't needed on this cold and windy March day. |
