It was used in pre WWII if I'm not mistaken on FT units used for freight and maybe passenger. These units were later painted into the more classically know warbonnet scheme. I have the first issue ever of classic trains magazine somewhere around here that talked about the cat whisker locomotives. Really, when I saw the name of this topic, I wasn't sure if you were talking about the pre-WB cat whiskers, or the catFISH whiskers of NS units [:D].

I didn't realize that the Santa Fe had another livery to the Warbonnet..[:0]...just saw an advertisement (MR Aug) for HO locos in this interesting colour scheme! [:)] It was referred to as Cat's whiskers...intriguing..quite a good descriptive name [:)] heh heh [:)]
Any Santa Fe fans able to help with where and when this was used? Was it used along with the Warbonnet but only on certain trains? [;)]
