Watering the engines and the rest of the train always made this operation interesting, if you were too close to the hoses you could end up getting soaked. |

AMTK 582 |
| Description: |
One of the interesting thing about the Big 40's was the numbers added on the "B" end of the engine. I believe after the initial order was deleivered from EMD the Black was added to the upper part and brought around. At some point the vertical numbers of the unit were added but this was not always consistent. On my photo of 649 in this album it has no numbers and of course was the last of the big SDP40F's delivered to Amtrak. |

AMTK 582 - A Big Red Nose! |
| Description: |
Even though I worked in Reservations, then Training and finally in a support role for the Field Sales Department in my almost 23 years at Amtrak there were a lot of fond memories both from getting to ride the trains pulled by these brutes as well as spending lots of free time photographing them. |

Watching the switching move at Jacksonville to combine the Miami and Tampa sides of the trains together was always interesting. By getting on the side of the Edgewood Avenue Overpass you could get a little height advantage. Southern's TOFC facility is in the background, part of Simpson Yard I believe. |
