Reply to "Santa Fe 3460 class, any freight use?"

So that does settle it. The most "freight" hauling a 3460 class would do would be on the Fast Mail on the eastern end of the system. The nice thing is the Fast Mail has no set consist. Basically any ATSF express boxcars, RPOs, or baggage cars are fine. Along with REA express refrigerator cars/boxcars or baggage/express cars from eastern roads. It should end up being an interesting train to model. 

Just remember that, unlike the Santa Fe 4-8-4s and 2-10-4s, which primarily handled the "Fast Mail", those high driveled 3460 class Hudsons could NOT handle the same large train. Thus, you will need to model a shorter/lighter Santa Fe "Fast Mail" train.
