Westbound SUNSET
Title:  Westbound SUNSET
Description:  Cruising along at 70 MPH, SDP40F's 551 and 557 were powering the westbound SUNSET LIMITED passed the "temporary" train order office at Raceland Junction, as the operator gave the train a roll-by inspection. Steam generator car 1918 was tucked in behind the locomotives, which was very unusual. This "temporary" office was placed here soon after a freight train derailment wrecked the previous depot on 10 June 1967 and it remained here for almost 18 years, until the introduction of Direct Traffic Control (DTC) on 18 February 1985 eliminated the need for any train order offices along the SUNSET ROUTE between New Orleans and El Paso.

Amtrak Sunset
Title:  Amtrak Sunset
Description:  Cotton Belt SD45 8976 - with UP-style number boards - and Amtrak's TRIPLE NICKEL - SDP40F 555 - were powering train No. 1, the westbound SUNSET, away from Carrollton Junction on the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal WESTERN CONNECTION. The right-of-way in the foreground had been the inbound track for IC, KCS, MP, SP and T&P trains, but this was removed in 1969. U.S. Highway 61 was on the other side of No. 1.

Amtrak No. 1
Title:  Amtrak No. 1
Description:  SDP40F 559 was smoking it up as it and the 555 got Amtrak train No. 1 - the westbound SUNSET - underway at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on Christmas Eve 1976. The 13-car train consisted of baggage car 1088, coach 5236, four high-level coaches 9927, 9941, 9949 and 9920, dormitory-lounge 3395, diner 8041, four sleepers 2762 PALM VIEW, 2366 REGAL PASS, 2501 BLUE GROVE and 2602 PACIFIC BEAUTY, and dome-sleeper-observation 9250 SILVER HORIZON. Southern Pacific units regularly smoked like this after sitting in New Orleans for 16 hours, but it was very unusual for an SDP40F to do this.
