World's Fastest Freight Train

I had the privilege of working for W. C. (Bill) Spann while he was Superintendent on the Southern Division of the Santa Fe Railway Company at Temple Texas. He passed away in 1997 and his wife Clo recently passed away in December 2016. His family recently invited me to look through the extensive Santa Fe materials and memorabilia that Mr. Spann had collected over the years and help them with decisions as to what to do with the the impressive collection. This is a sample of his collection (Most familiar with the Santa Fe will know John S. Reed was the President of the Santa Fe during this time):
