AFT 4449 |
| Description: |
After the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN ran from Jackson, Mississippi to Baton Rouge over the Illinois Central Gulf, it pulled into the ICG’s NORTH BATON ROUGE YARD. In this view, the 4449 (and its tool car) had run around the train and was about to couple on to the last car so it could pull the train backwards to its display site. The Louisiana state capital building is the tall building on the left. |

Amtrak No. 58 |
| Description: |
There was nothing quite like the sound of General Electric U-boats working hard AND moving fast, as was the case here along the MAIN LINE of MID-AMERICA. Here on the north side of tiny Tangipahoa, Louisiana P30CH units 713 and 708 were chugging away and sounding great as they accelerated the northbound PANAMA LIMITED up from the community’s 45 MPH municipal speed limit to the track speed of 79. In these coming-and-going views the train was crossing Beaver Creek and the entrance to the Camp Moore Confederate Cemetery as it headed off along U.S. Highway 51. The next stop would be McComb, Mississippi. |

AMTK dome car 9400 SILVER CASTLE |
| Description: |
Amtrak dome coach 9400 SILVER CASTLE was parked in the station at Minneapolis with some Burlington Northern office cars. The car had been built by Budd in June 1940 as Burlington flat-top coach 4709 and was rebuilt into a dome car by the CB&Q in 1949. It was briefly renumbered BN 3480 in 1970, before going to Amtrak in 1971. It was retired in 1977 and, as of 2020, it was at the Minnesota Transportation Museum's JACKSON STREET ROUNDHOUSE in St. Paul. Amtrak later had another Budd dome car numbered 9400. This one was a smooth-side ex-Northern Pacific HERITAGE FLEET car. |

| Description: |
Southern E8A 6901 had been the trailing unit on train No. 1 - the southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT - from Washington to Atlanta, and here it was at the Atlanta station as the inbound power was being removed from the train so these could be replaced with freshly-serviced locomotives. The 6901 had been built in September 1951 as the 2924 and was renumbered in 1972. It was retired in 1979 and donated to the Atlanta Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. |

The Southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT |
| Description: |
Southern Railway GP7 8300 was beginning to switch train No. 1 - the southbound SOUTHERN CRESCENT - in the Atlanta station by removing the locomotives which had brought the train in from Washington: E8A units 6910, 6909, 6906 and 6901. In the distance were the units which would power the train to New Orleans - the 6911, 6902 and 6913 - along with freshly-stocked diner 3869 and dome car 1613. After replacing the power, the 8300 would remove the last five cars which had come in from Washington and then add these two cars to the rear of the train. This was a regular procedure on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, when No. 1 ran all the way from Washington to New Orleans. Dome cars did not run north of Atlanta because there wasn't enough clearance in the tunnel leading into Washington Union Station. |

SP car 107 DEL MONTE |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific car 107 was leaving New Orleans on the rear of the SUNSET. It was built by Pullman in September 1916 as a private car for Henry E Huntington, and was lettered San Joaquin & Eastern SAN MARINO. In 1920 the car was re-lettered for the Southern Pacific, and after Huntington’s death in 1927, it was bought by the SP where it became car 107 DEL MONTE. In 1956 the car was modernized and received outside swing hanger trucks with roller bearings and disc brakes. The 107 was retired in 1978 and was sold to Mexico’s Ferrocarril del Pacifico in 1979; but it returned to the US as a private car in 1985. The car was made Amtrak compatible and received Amtrak number 800270, and after passing through several owners, it now belongs to Robert and Rita Menzies, who also own the Aberdeen Carolina & Western Railway. |

SP 133 GUADALUPE |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific office car 133 GUADALUPE was on the westbound SUNSET LIMITED leaving New Orleans. This car had been built in May 1912 as SP second 100, was subsequently renumbered SP 127 in 1927, then Texas & New Orleans 991 in 1928 and finally SP 133 in 1962, when the T&NO was merged into the SP; but it always wore the same name. It was retired on 5 July 1974 and sold. The car was initially assigned to SP vice-president Julius Kruttschnitt, who had been born here in New Orleans in 1854. He went to work for the SP in 1885 and rose up through the ranks, becoming chairman of the railroad’s executive committee in 1913. He retired in May 1925 and passed away in New Orleans two weeks later, just shy of his 71st birthday. (approximate date of photo) |
