Remarks & Notes

Santa Fe’s eastbound Super Chief, Train 18, had to go in the siding at Blanchard, N.M. to clear for the much heavier unit coal train, operating from York Canyon, N.M. to Kaiser Steel at Fontana, Calif. Those were the first unit coal trains on the AT&SF, and usually ran with Alco RSD-15 units including radio-controlled helpers. Remember steam heating and air conditioning? July 10, 1968.
