The only name I've ever heard for it is the "Blue Goose." One of my biggest frustrations with the Santa Fe is that with all of the Santa Fe locomotives that were saved from scrappers for display, I think the Blue Goose should have been at the top of the list. It should have been restored to it's original as built configuration and donated to a railroad museum somewhere. The other locomotive that I would have liked to see restored would have been one of the 2 Pacific types that were semi-streamlined and painted for the Valley Flyer. Those two Pacifics were the direct ancestor to the famous Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme.
