New Amtrak SDP40F's on shakedown run |
| Description: |
When EMD released the first Amtrak SDP40F's they were ran on a shakedown run on the Santa FE before being released into passenger service. Here is 505,504, and 503 on their maiden run through Joliet IL. This was the only time these units pulled a freight train thus making this shot a rare one indeed. This shot was rejected by Railpics for high sun, so I'm sharing it here with you all. |

AMTK 505 |
| Description: |
PURCELL OK October 1973 -- Amtrak SDP40F 505 leads the southbound Texas Chief under the highway overpass as the train slows for a stop at the station. A new crew will take the train from here to Gainesville TX. EMD built the 505 (b/n 72694) in June 1973. After being traded in to EMD most of its internal components were used in F40PHR 363. That unit was acquired by Florida DOT for use in Tri-Rail Service as TRCX 810.

AMTK 523 |
| Description: |
Amtrak's #3, the "Southwest Limited," crosses the Los Angeles River as it approaches its final destination at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal early in the morning in February 1974. A trio of EMD SDP40F diesels (523, 525 and 505), from Amtrak's first order of new power, leads the train on this day. In the early days of Amtrak, Santa Fe would not allow the use of their "Super Chief" name to be used by Amtrak, hence the train's early moniker "Southwest Limited." In October 1984, Santa Fe deemed Amtrak's improvements to this train sufficient and the railroad allowed the use of their trademarked name to be used by Amtrak, and the old "Super Chief" was reborn as the "Southwest Chief." Note that the old Santa Fe advertising on the bridge was still in place, and that the L.A. River's concrete banks are not covered in graffiti! (And what appears to be graffiti on the retaining wall on the left, behind the cut of cars, is actually an old advertisement.) |
