Experimental Honda shipping on the ATSF

Has anyone run across photos of the experimental Santa Fe train that shipped Hondas across CA for awhile, maybe in the mid-90's?  AutoRailers (like RoadRailers) and articulated auto racks would have been in the train...

Thanks.  This is the equipment that was running ( http://www.qstation.org/atsf_im/atsf_im.html ), and I've found reference to what and how many of what were in the consist in an old thread at trainorders... but I'm interested to know what typical motive power was, what order the rolling stock was in, and if the plain white autorailers had much in the way of markings.

Yeah, but unfortunantly the links at the end of that article are broken so there's no photos of the train in action.
