This postcard shows two red diesel locomotives of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway standing side by side at night under the covered platforms of Los Angeles Passenger Terminal. The locomotives wear the classic red and silver “warbonnet” livery with large “Santa Fe” lettering across the nose. The unit on the right displays the number 83, and the one to the left shows 46. Their headlights are illuminated, casting bright white beams onto the wet platform surface. A platform canopy marked with a circular “5” sign extends above the train on the left. Passenger cars stretch back into the distance beneath station lighting. The scene captures the Super Chief and the San Diegan in a nighttime station setting, emphasizing the streamlined design and bold paint scheme of mid-20th-century Santa Fe passenger power.
