Boarding the San Francisco Chief
In the summer of 1965 my family took a trip to Kansas to visit relatives. I was 9. I am shown here with my mom getting ready to board the train. We rode the Santa Fe's (ATSF) San Francisco Chief from Richmond, CA to Kansas City.

Cabooses

ATSF 999588, ATSF Ce-10

ATSF 999588 is a Ce-10 caboose. Reportedly: The ten Ce-10's were upgraded from Ce and Ce-5 class cars at the Topeka shops simultaneous with the Ce-9 class. The Ce-9's and Ce-10's reportedly only differed in the type of cushion underframe applied. Lost in a sea of look-alike Ce-1's and Ce-2's, the 9's and 10's lived out their lives in road service, with most lasting less than a dozen years between rebuilding and retirement.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent. Please do not edit, crop, colorize, "correct" or "improve" my photos without asking me first.

Special Thanks

All the great folks who helped me out with information for these Web pages!
