ARZX 50 • Belen NM • 03/19/24 - a photo on Flickriver

ARZX 50 • Belen NM • 03/19/24

            Rolling into Belen, New Mexico, I was so excited to find a pristine AAA Pumping Service porta-potty!  And this one was in excellent condition, too.  Yet another porta-potty photo I can add to my collection!  

… You may have also noticed a locomotive lurking in the background.  (I tried my best to crop it out.)  Arizona State Railroad Museum Foundation (ARZX) 50 is a now rare 3000 hp SF30C, the last one of these diesels in the United States.  Built by General Electric in March 1973 as Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe U36C 8728, it was later rebuilt by the Santa Fe into an SF30C (ATSF 9501, the second of seventy to be rebuilt by the railway as a way to avoid purchasing new (and therefore pricy) power.  ATSF 9501 was eventually sold to Minnesota Commercial Railway in, of all places, Minnesota.  (Headquartered in Saint Paul.)  MNNR repainted it red and numbered it 50.  In February 2022, MNRR 50 was acquired by the Arizona State Railroad Museum and, in March 2024, it was finally heading west to its new home in Williams, Arizona, in BNSF train H-AMSGUP1-18, where it will join a growing collection of locomotives and cars.  (If I only had planned ahead, I would have packed my outhouse and piping filters!)
