In the early 1950s when Santa Fe was able to dieselize all its passenger trains what happened to the 3460 class 4-6-4s (including the "Blue Goose")? Were they dead lined/scrapped immediately or were they put into freight use on the eastern lines? I can't seem to find any pictures of 3460 class locomotives in freight use. I'd expect the 3460 wasn't used to haul freight (Blue Goose) but I would assume the other 5, non-streamlined, locomotives in the class were. Maybe hot shot refrigerator or boxcar trains?
