Amtrak 519
Title:  Amtrak 519
Description:  NORMAN OK -- This undated photo shows southbound Amtrak SDP40f 519 making a station stop in Norman. The light skiff of snow adds to the scene. Of interest (to me at least) is the front end of my 1955 Chevrolet convertible visible at far right. It was a daily driver back then. I still have it and only drive it to car shows and for fun. The date listed for this slide is a best guess.
