AMTK 508 |
| Description: |
When Amtrak took over (most of) America's passenger rail operations in May 1971, they had to make due with a hodge-podge of diesels, mainly E-units, built in the 1940s and 1950s that were, to put it kindly, getting a bit tired. New power was ordered from EMD - a new model, the SDP40F - which began arriving just about two years after Amtrak's inaugural day. The first of these 500-class engines entered service on the former Santa Fe trains - notably, trains #3 and #4, the Chicago to Los Angeles "Southwest Limited." With a built date of July 1973, Amtrak 508 is seen at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal on July 9th, 1973 after having brought in that morning's #3. These engines were basically passenger versions of EMD's popular SD40-2, in a cowl carbody (reminiscent of EMD's FP45) and including two steam generators and, because they were to operate nationwide, two types of fuel fillers. (On an adjacent track can be seen a bit of a Santa Fe F7A, what were still powering Amtrak's L.A. to San Diego "San Diegans," and which were still owned by Santa Fe and leased to Amtrak. Within a very short time, SDP40Fs would replace these classic Fs as well.) |

| Description: |
Amtrak "Cabbage" 90208, seen on the rear of "Pacific Surfliner" #799 on February 20, 2011, began life as F40PH 208. When the F40PHs were retired, many were rebuilt as baggage cars that, because of the locomotive cab, could be used on the front of push-pull passenger trains. I hope no luggage fell out of that open door! |

AMTK 156 - West Colton Yard, Bloomington, CA - 4/2/11 |
| Description: |
The railfans assembled on the Pepper Street overpass at Union Pacific's West Colton Yards east end get a friendly wave from the cab of Amtrak P42DC 156 as it leads a special train toward Cajon Pass and, eventually, Tehachapi and Bakersfield. In a nice touch of class, Amtrak sent one of their Fortieth Anniversary Heritage units (the 156) west to lead the Pacific Railroad Society’s 75th Anniversary special. (The second engine in the consist is Amtrak Dash 8-32BWH 510.) |

| Description: |
Amtraks fleet of F59PHIs in service on the "Pacific Surfliners" has been looking rather shabby for the last year or so. But in 2012 Amtrak has started sending a few of these back to Beech Grove in Indiana for overhauls, and that includes new paint. Unit 460 returned in late 2012, and is seen in fresh paint on "Pacific Surfliner" #573 as it passes through Fullerton, California, on January 12th, 2013. |

Working as the relief engine/switcher in San Diego on August 17th, 2013, is a pristine F59PHI 452. Built in June 1988 (an EMD product that was assembled at Super Steel in Schenectady, NY), these locomotives are currently cycling out to Amtrak's Beech Grove shop in Indiana for rebuilding and new paint. Amtrak 452 arrived back in Los Angeles from Beech Grove on August 5th - just twelve days earlier. (It was on #3, the westbound "Southwest Chief," behind P42DCs 203 and 6, and at the end of the train was recently rebuilt "Pacific Surfliner" coach 6307 as the train's last car.) |
