AMTK 544 meets Amtk 713 at Jacksonville, FL |
| Description: |
Amtk 713, an Amfleet Coach and an Amclub/Amcafe were brought to Jacksonville for training for the Mechanical and Onboard Services personnel prior to the start of the train 89/90, the Palmetto from NY to Savannah. Personnel from the Amtrak South Eastern Reservation Sales Office in Jacksonville were also given the opportunity to see the new equipment first hand. Of course some of us also took advantage to take some pictures. |

AMTK 646 & 544 |
| Description: |
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. |

Amtrak 545 in Alabama |
| Description: |
Amtrak SDP40F is the sole unit on train no.56, the northbound "Floridian" as it makes its station stop at Montgomery AL in January 1979. The "Floridian" was Amtrak's last attempt at a direct Chicago to Florida5train; it was anulled only ten months later. Looking back now I wonder why I didn't shoot a picture of the whole train and the station; ah, but that's irrelevent now. As for this unit, the five-year old 545 has only a few months to go before it went back to EMD as trade bait for a new F40PH. |

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 |
| 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. |
