  • Santa Fe Fts Without Drawbars
    Santa Fe FTs From Santa Fe Diesel Locomotive Development, book in work at Signature Press. Perhaps some information I have found in researching Santa Fe Diesel Locomotive Development will be of interest to you. John McCall is a good friend and my mentor, and one of the most reliable authorities on Santa Fe Diesels around. He kindly reviewed the message here and agrees with me. Santa Fe's Early Diesel Daze 1935‐1953, was written long before the Santa Fe files saved by Richard Scholz became available. To answer one basic question: Despite the confusion of seeing photos in other publications of FTs from other railroads, sometimes confused with AT&SF information, I am convinced that All FTs delivered to the Santa Fe were separable and interchangeable units. All, starting with 100 and 100A built in 1940, were equipped at EMD at the Santa Fe's expense with couplers, diaphragms, end doors, end steps and end handrails. At the time of order and delivery, the Santa Fe did not use the "L" designator, that term came later, but since John McCall did so in his landmark publication Santa Fe's Early Diesel Daze, most people follow his lead. For this message I have not done so. In 1938 the FT was conceived by Richard Dillworth at EMC,( in 1941 to be EMD), to be marketed as a single 2700‐hp two segmented locomotive, one 1350‐hp cab equipped segment without batteries and one 1350‐hp booster segment without any cab controls, both segments not designed to work independently of one another and permanently drawbar attached.

In regards to the Huckleberry railroad, can we make multiple bids from the same vendor? For example, we have a 20 ton three foot gauge diesel locomotive that can be ready in very short order. Or, we can create a similar 45 ton locomotive that would take more time and perhaps cost more. A1. In the bid documents it states the alternate bids will be accepted if they are equal to or better.
