My HO Model of Warbonnet Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) 356 was on the Tri-City Society of Model Engineers (TCSME) model railroad club in the historic Niles depot in Fremont, CA, on Friday, February 27, 2026. This locomotive is an Atlas model.
The real ATSF 356 was a GE U28CG. Reportedly it was built in 1966, builder's number 35999. In 1970 it was assigned to freight service and in 1972 it was repainted in Blue and Yellow. It was retired in 1980.
