Super Bowl XX         
In very fresh SPSF paint, a pair of Southern Pacific SDP45's sit outside the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine house, while Super Bowl XX was taking place behind them in the Louisiana Super Dome. The two units had arrived the previous day with a 15-car Super Bowl Special. In the background, F40 391 wears special SUPER BOWL SHUTTLE markings on its nose. It had come in earlier in the day with a nine-car special from Chicago. On the track next to the 391 are an E9A, SDP40F, P30CH and two Seaboard System F-units. The Chicago fans went home happy, as their BEARS beat the New England PATRIOTS 46-10.
