Title:
First generation goodies
Description:
Were passing the Chicago engine facility just outside Union Station, where first generation power is holding sway. A pair of Es, a GP 7 from the PC Valpo train, and an SW 1 shop switcher dominate the scene, quite typical of the time. Note the building in the background, the Continental Paper Grading Co. I had no idea my teachers were sending my term papers here to get graded. I thought they did it all themselves :-)

Title:
Amtrak CRESCENT
Description:
This set of locomotives - F40 258, E9A 420 and E9B 473- on train No. 20 are typical of the power Amtrak used on the CRESCENT until the train received HERITAGE FLEET equipment in early 1981. After that, it typically ran it a pair of F40's.

Title:
Amtrak E-Units
Description:
A dozen retired Amtrak E-units were parked at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, waiting to be sold. This auction eliminated almost all of Amtrak's remaining E-units, which were purchased by the Precision National Corp. and then scrapped for their prime movers. On the near track were the 473, 471, 408, 421, 368, 419 (the last E-unit ever built) and 436; while the 426 and 441 were on the left. Other units here included the 411, 422 and 464.
