SPV |
Description: |
The SPV 2000 was going to be the return of the RDC. Didnt quite work out so well, enough so that SPV turned out to mean "seldom powered vehicle." This one is owned by Connecticut DOT, and covered the New Haven-Springfield trips. |

Description: |
Amtrak 712 at San Antonio being swiched. Train 1, the sunset, added cars from 21, the Eagle, and went on to LA. We were doing the "backwards" connection, from #1 to #22 to go to Chicago. It was a 5 hour layover in the station in the middle of the night. Aside from the hard benches, not too awful. Ive had worse times in bus stations at that time of day. Not sure where the SP unit came from. It was not on the train when we left New Orleans, and may have been added at Houston, though it may also have just been assisting with the switching moves to combine the train. |

UP lends a hand |
Description: |
I took the Pioneer and Cal Zephyr from Seattle to Chicago. This was about a year after the Thistle mudslide on the DRGW, and Amtrak was not yet running trains there. Numbers 5 and 6 detoured over UP from Salt Lake to Denver. UP added a unit, though as I recall, time keeping was not an issue, as the route was faster than the Rio Grande. Here we see UP 3301 leading the Amtrak power at Borie Jct. |
