Howard Moore's photos are fairly difficult to date. But this one is of a Santa Fe F3 that looks like it was in from its first run to Los Angeles after delivery in November 1946:
ATSF 16 was the class unit of the 16 class. In their original form, they had no lower headlight on the nose, and there was a third porthole in the A unit sides. The lower headlight and revised side vents were added over subsequent months. They remained on the Santa Fe's most prestigious passenger trains for their whole careers.
Here is PA-1 51, again just after delivery in September, 1946. It's posed on a special Pacific Electric siding on Exposition Boullevard in Los Angeles, where railroads often displayed new equipment:
ATSF 51 was re-engined by EMD in 1954.
Here is Santa Fe FT 158 in Barstow during the 1946-7 period.
The Santa Fe equipped some FT sets with steam generators and painted them in red and silver in 1946, contemporary with the other photos here. The last passenger FTs were returned to the freight scheme in 1954.
