AT&SF E6 15

            AT&SF E6 15 at Albuquerque, New Mexico, circa 1942, photograph by Jack Delano, image from the Library of Congress ( LoC ).  The description at the LoC was:  

Santa Fe R.R. streamliner, the "Super Chief," being serviced at the depot, Albuquerque, N[ew] Mex[ico]. Servicing these diesel streamliners takes five minutes.

Number 15 was built in May 1941 ( c/n 1242 ), retired and traded to EMD in June 1968.  Note it was equipped with a visor over the headlight, which I believe was installed to make the light less noticeable from the air, the fear being air raids from Japan during World War II.  

By my count, 11 men were servicing the locomotives, although one man was carrying a grip bag, so maybe he was part of the locomotive crew.  Also of interest ( to me ) is the man on the right stacking white bags on a baggage cart, and he is standing on something that is covered with what looks like a white fabric cloth.
