Amtrak SDP40F 502
Title:  Amtrak SDP40F 502
Description:  Amtrak SDP40F 502 at about 22nd Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This location was known as Alton Junction or Fort Wayne Junction, depending on which railroad you worked for. The track was in the process of being rebuilt, note the second track to the far right is still incomplete. At the time of this photo, that would only be a problem for the ICG. I think Tim told me that the blue rail joiners marked a future weld point.

AMTK 504
Title:  AMTK 504
Description:  "May Gray" is the order of the day as a westbound Amtrak "San Diegan" rolls into the station in Fullerton, California. In the distance an automobile can be seen crossing the tracks on Lemon Avenue (which now passes under the tracks), and a block of mechanical refrigerator cars on the siding to the right was a typical sight at the time. Things have certainly changed at the station since May 1974!

New Amtrak SDP40F's on shakedown run
Title:  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.

That unit was acquired by Florida DOT for use in Tri-Rail Service as TRCX 810.

AMTK 523
Title:  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.)
