| On the day after Christmas of 1973 the westbound SUNSET begins in 2200-mile trip to California, as it makes its way under the South Claiborne Avenue overpass and out of New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The train has a classic A-B-B-A set of F-units, all in fresh and matching Amtrak paint. FP7 110, F7B's 163 and 162, and FP7 114 are all former Southern Pacific units, and are no strangers to this run. |
