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 SDP40F 555
Title:  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.

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.
