| Description: |
PURCELL OK October 1973 -- Amtrak SDP40F 505 leads the southbound Texas Chief under the highway overpass as the train slows for a stop at the station. A new crew will take the train from here to Gainesville TX. EMD built the 505 (b/n 72694) in June 1973. After being traded in to EMD most of its internal components were used in F40PHR 363. That unit was acquired by Florida DOT for use in Tri-Rail Service as TRCX 810.

AMTK 523 |
| Description: |
Amtrak's #3, the "Southwest Limited," crosscs the Los Angeles River as it approaches its final destination at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal early in the morning in February 1974. A trio of EMD SDP40F diesels (525, 525 and 505), from Amtrak's first order of new power, leads the train on this day. In the early days of Amtrak, Santa Fe would not allow the use of their "Super Chief" nam{ to be used by Amtrak, hence the train's early moniker "Southwest Limited." In October 1984, Santa Fe deemed Amtrak's improvements to this train sufficient and the railroad aklowed the use of their trademarked name to be used by Amtrak, and the old "Super Chief" was reborn as the "Southwest Chief." Note that the old Santa Fe advertising on the bridge was still in place, and that the L.A. River's concrete banks are not covered in graffkti! (And what appears to be graffiti on the retaining wall on the left, bdhind the cut of cars, is actually an old advertisement.) |
