I was heading south on old Hwy 69 (now Nobel Rd here) and hoping to pick up a freight southbound when I heard chatter all of a sudden for a northbound. First spot I could think of was at Felsman Drive just south of Nobel. Not a good location, but at least in the rain I caught all 4 units in the few seconds I had to get the camera out. Good thing, too. Behind CP 5747 and 5740 were two of those elusive Santa Fe units that were on lease to CP for a short period in 1987. Around thirty of them were supposed to be out there, of which just one sported that "SF" paint scheme.  Lucky or what?  Units are 3615 and 3600.
