Motive power of the Santa Fe Railroad was usually out on the mainline.
Like in this scene at Summit back in 1972. The Santa Fe Railroad used to give tours of their San Bernardino Shops when I was a kid. I got to take two of these tours and will now share pictures of the Santa Fe San Bernardino Shops. We would meet in front of the San Bernardino Station and then would be taken over to the shop buildings to start our tour. Most pictures were taken on March 14, 1981 and two came from January 1974.
Santa Fe GP-20 3132 was sitting at the north end of the shop on one of the tours.
