Following the discovery of gold in Searchlight in 1897 a gold rush brought industry into the high desert of the Mojave.

It's quite a route on the railroad. Especially for those who like a little adventure on their travels.

After doing the Mahri pic at Amboy, I wanted to make another pic around the area and got the idea from seeing my pic of the BNSF main line nearby this place. This is not meant to be a entire historical recreation, but more of a fun concept depicting a passenger train through such a landscape like this I hope y'all like it.

Happy #MiniatureMonday

All aboard the Train to Wichita! The crank-to-read miniature book in a model train written and designed by Peter and Donna Thomas that is.

This book, comprised of 3 color-illustrated scrolls in the rear compartment of an altered model train was originally designed for an exhibit at the Wichita Art Museum in Wichita, Kansas. One scroll tells the story of the arrival of the train in Wichita written by Peter, while the two others contain lyrics to the songs “The Old Chisholm Trail” and “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe.” All three scrolls were hand illustrated by Donna. Special Collections and Archives is happy to own one of only twenty functioning copies.

Day 14: EMD GP60M

An EMD GP60 is a 4-axle (B-B) road switcher diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1985 and 1994. The GP60 was EMD's first engine that was classified as a "third-generation" locomotive. Hidden behind the electrical cabinet doors on the rear wall of the cab, the GP60 concealed a trio of microprocessors that monitored and managed a host of engine, cooling system and control functions. The engine's on-board microprocessors replaced hundreds of wiring circuits, dozens of relays and all but one module card, making it an improvement among EMD's engines.

Power was provided by a 16-cylinder 710G3A diesel engine, which could produce 3,800 horsepower (2,800 kW). This locomotive was 59 feet 9 inches long and featured a 3,700-US-gallon (14,000 L) fuel tank. The GP60 series shared the same frame as the GP59. Cabless 'B' units of this locomotive model were also built; they were known as GP60B models, purchased exclusively by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Units built with a North American Safety Cab were designated GP60M and all purchased by the Santa Fe. A total of 294 GP60, 23 GP60B and 63 GP60M units were built by EMD. Due to the mainstream focus of railroads on powerful six-axle units, and strict emissions standards, aside from the collaborations with Motive Power Incorporated, the GP60 is the last new EMD "Geep".

Santa Fe followed its 40 standard-cab GP60s with an order for 63 custom GP60Ms. The GP60M featured North American Safety cabs, and was the only 60 Series B-B locomotive with this feature. The nose has a headlight that is slightly offset to the right to accommodate the front door. The first new units delivered in the road's revived "Super Fleet" Warbonnet Paint Scheme. Santa Fe GP60Ms 100–162 were delivered between May and September 1990
