Westbound SUNSET
Title:  Westbound SUNSET
Description:  On the day after Christmas of 1973 the westbound SUNSET begins in 2200-mile trip to California, as it makes its way under the South Claiborne Avenue overpass and out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The train has a classic A-B-B-A set of F-units, all in fresh and matching Amtrak paint. FP7 110, F7B's 163 and 162, and FP7 114 are all former Southern Pacific units, and are no strangers to this run.

The train consisted of baggage car 1102, hi-level coaches 9920, 9932 and 9900, dormitory-bar-lounge car 3394, Northern Pacific diner 463, and sleeping cars 2361 REGAL CITY, 2635 PACIFIC SPRAY and 2608 PACIFIC CREST.
