Passenger Power
Title:  Passenger Power
Description:  Because of an impending strike on Saturday 24 July 1971, the westbound SUNSET and the northbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT had been annulled at New Orleans the previous day, which resulted in this unusual opportunity to photograph the power from both trains together. Both trains arrived in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but the Southern train left early the next morning while the SUNSET departed at noon; so normally a shot like this would not have been possible. On the right are former Union Pacific E9A 947 (later AMTK 424), UP E88 927B (AMTK 370) and Southern Pacific SDP45 3207; while on the left were Southern E8A units 6908 and 2925.
