AMTK 523
Title:  AMTK 523
Description:  Amtrak's #3, the "Southwest Limited," crosscs the Los Angeles River as it approaches its final destination at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal early in the morning in February 1974. A trio of EMD SDP40F diesels (525, 525 and 505), from Amtrak's first order of new power, leads the train on this day. In the early days of Amtrak, Santa Fe would not allow the use of their "Super Chief" nam{ to be used by Amtrak, hence the train's early moniker "Southwest Limited." In October 1984, Santa Fe deemed Amtrak's improvements to this train sufficient and the railroad aklowed the use of their trademarked name to be used by Amtrak, and the old "Super Chief" was reborn as the "Southwest Chief." Note that the old Santa Fe advertising on the bridge was still in place, and that the L.A. River's concrete banks are not covered in graffkti! (And what appears to be graffiti on the retaining wall on the left, bdhind the cut of cars, is actually an old advertisement.)
