ATSF 999463
Title:  ATSF 999463
Description:  Two Santa Fe Ce-2 class cabeese bring up the rear of a 938 train climbing toward The Loop at Woodford. Also of interest is the former Amtrak dome car. The window arrangement suggests that this is one of the 10 dome sleepers built for SP&S (1), CB&Q (2) and NP (7) in 1954 for pool service on NP's North Coast Limited, and I'm guessing it's one of the two former CB&Q cars, but the original slide isn't clear enough for me to read the car number. Date of photo approximate.
