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 SDP40F 555 |
| Description: |
One-year-old Amtrak SDP40F's 555 - the railroad's first TRIPLE NICKLE - and 556 were on the westbound SUNSET in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. These were some of the units with icicle breakers to protect dome cars while on the SAN FRANCISCO ZEPHYR. The 555 would be retired three years later and traded-in on F40PHR 281. Notice the baggage wagon and the REA trailer on the left. |
