SP 7106 |
Description: |
An eastbound Southern Pacific intermodal train waits on the Huey P. Long bridge at East Bridge for Amtrak train No. 1 the Westbound Sunset Limited. SP GP40M-2 7106 looks good as it has only been a year since it was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen from B&O GP40 3715. Behind it is a typically ratty looking EsPee locomotive--SP SD40R 7364. |

Amtrak Train No. 1 |
Description: |
At 5:38 PM on Saturday 31 March 1984 Amtrak train No. 1 – the westbound SUNSET LIMITED – was stopped at the station in Lafayette, Louisiana. The train was powered by F4 326 with P30CH units 710 and 721. This station had been built by the Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) in 1912 but was severely damaged by a fire in 2001. The city restored the building, and it reopened in 2007. It was one of several depots along the Sunset Route in Louisiana which were set back from the platform. |

Description: |
Amtrak train No. 1, the Westbound Sunset Limited, is switched at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal - Track 5. This is during the transcontinental era of the Sunset Limited. Inbound off the CSX this train's consist was P40 809, F40 321, 1208, 39914, 32073 California, 32039, 38015, 33025, 34057, 39954, & 31033. At New Orleans the third car, sleeper 32073 California, was set out for mechanical issues and replaced with sleeper 32105 Oregon. I would ride this train from New Orleans to Lake Charles where I would meet Lowell McManus and begin an epic road trip to Mexico. |
