Santa Fe F7 326 at Canadian, TX

My brother and I were on a long train chasing trip from California. On February 23, 1974 we found engine 326, a yellow war bonnet F7, on a local making a set out at Canadian, TX. We turned around and chased this train west for about 25 miles.

Canadian had a five track roundhouse until 1951. Engine 1805 (2-6-2) suffered a boiler explosion in the roundhouse at 1:57 P.M. on April 1, 1951. The crown sheet failed due to low water.
