Comments
Former Santa Fe unit is one of more photographed SD40-2s in the nation; it's also very mobile.  A search of the Internet comes up with photos of this engine in places as far reaching as Texas, Washington, Illinois, and Minnesota...all since 2003.  Clearly this engine was made (and likely rebuilt) to be used for a long time.

Photo is looking south, parallel with Elliott Avenue West at Lee Street.  In the background is a storage elevator for ocean-bound shipping, and a artistic walkway that spans all the tracks in this area.
