Santa Fe Warbonnet #316 at Galveston Railroad Museum



Nice! That’s some intensive horn placement!
Lol you bet, the horn's have come from a different F Units #100 and #200 which were damaged by Hurricane Ike. The current units #315 and #316 served on railways including Southern Pacific, the Port of Allegheny Railroad, and the Connecticut Department of Transportation before coming to the museum in 2011 as a replacement and were painted by the museum in the Warbonnet scheme.

Okay, I should have recognized the plow and even the horn location, as it turns out, but just saw the warbonnet scheme. The ditch lights make me wonder if this is an operational unit, since they wouldn't have been there in its normal service life.
@Maersk.146 , this is indeed an operational unit. It's just that it's not the "actual" SantaFe. The Plow, the ditch lights and the horns are an after addition. This locomotive does not even have the port holes on the side as was common with the SantaFe 'F' Units.
