Lake Shore
Title:  Lake Shore
Description:  A three hour late Lake Shore Limited rolls into the Albany Renssalaer station behind an SDP40F/E 9B combination. I lived in NY City, which was electrified territory, and mostly saw FL 9s and electric motors, with an occasional E unit if I got to Harmon. The SDP40F was a treat, and this was the first one I had seen. The power was pulled here, probably so it could be serviced and sent back west. I dont recall what the train got-I think Es, though it could have been FL 9s, which sometimes ran to Albany.

AMTK 646 & 544
Title:  AMTK 646 & 544
Description:  Watching the switching move at Jacksonville to combine the Miami and Tampa sides of the trains together was always interesting. By getting on the side of the Edgewood Avenue Overpass you could get a little height advantage. Southern's TOFC facility is in the background, part of Simpson Yard I believe.

Amtrak 545 in Alabama
Title:  Amtrak 545 in Alabama
Description:  Amtrak SDP40F is the sole unit on train no.56, the northbound "Floridian" as it makes its station stop at Montgomery AL in January 1979. The "Floridian" was Amtrak's last attempt at a direct Chicago to Florida5train; it was anulled only ten months later. Looking back now I wonder why I didn't shoot a picture of the whole train and the station; ah, but that's irrelevent now. As for this unit, the five-year old 545 has only a few months to go before it went back to EMD as trade bait for a new F40PH.
