Santa Fe Road Slug 113 |
Description: |
Santa Fe rebuilt a number of EMD F3Bs and F7Bs in the early '70s into road slugs for potash duty in Southeast New Mexico. Initally connected to F7As they soon were wired to CF7s and operated in eight-unit sets on the branches out of Carlsbad and Loving NM. This is slug 113, the former passenger-service F3B 31B. It survived in this work through 1982. It's shown here at work about 15 miles east of Carlsbad. |
