Westbound: 1943
March 1943. "A westbound Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe passenger train passing by a siding near the town of Hoover, Texas, enroute to Amarillo." Acetate negative by Jack Delano for the Office of War Information. View full size.

Oklahoma
Signal 4202 means they're in Oklahoma, a few miles southwest of Shattuck. The engines just crossed above the east-west county road at 36.202N 99.9312W.
Two passenger trains a day were scheduled Chicago to LA via Amarillo; the Grand Canyon was due out of Shattuck at 8:50 AM Central War Time.
Dos Locos
Seems odd to have two heavy locomotives on such a short train.
