Es into the night
Title:  Es into the night
Description:  I rode the Broadway to Chicago in 1978. At the time, it was still on its traditional route from New York to Harrisburg via Zoo Tower in Philly, changing engines at Harrisburg. We had just completed the engine change, the Es now coupled up in place of GG 1 4932 which had brought the train in from New York. Now it was off into the Allegheny darkness as we tackled Horseshoe Curve and the moutain railroad that the ex Pennsy still was. We rounded Horseshoe around 2330, and got into Pitt around 0330. I was amazed at how much traffic there was on that line, everything from coal-lots of it-to general freight, to intermodal. Even in the chaos of Conrail start up, it was an amazing piece of railroading.

AMTK 439
Title:  AMTK 439
Description:  This eastward view is from the B&O bridge over the NYC at the end of West Ave. at Milepost 374. The two tracks on the right lead to Pfaudler and the PRR interchange, but one has been cleverly pulled since tracks K-52-2 and K-52-3 are no longer in service. The RG&E plant on the left, the two bridges in the background, and the tracks to Pfaudler/PRR are all gone today. The old General Railway Signal complex is to the extreme right. Even the milepost has been replaced since this May 1976 photo.

Amtrak Train Number 73.
Title:  Amtrak Train Number 73.
Description:  Amtrak #73 makes an "s" stop at Poughkeepsie. This version of Amtrak's paint scheme was, in my opinion, among one of its finest (Blue and Silver Mist and pointless arrow). Date is approximate.

AMTK E8 439
Title:  AMTK E8 439
Description:  Amtrak E8 439 without a pilot and an unidentified E unit with icicle breakers at about 18th Street in Chicago, Illinois on an undnown day in March 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the book, Amtrak By The Numbers, number 439 was built in February 1952 (c/n 15712) as RF&P E8 1007, became AMTK 21>, was rebuilt in April 1974 to E8A-R 439 and officially retired in July 1981, although it looks retired here. The locomotives were parked on leads to Dearborn Street Station, closed in 1971. Santa Fe's Super Chief and other passenger trains once used these rails. The rails rising in the background were the IC (ICG on this photo date) rails ascending to meet the ICG's Saint Charles Air Line on the bridge in$the background. I don't know the purpose of the tower building seen on the right.

AMTK 441
Title:  AMTK 441
Description:  Amtrak 441 was one of about a dozen E-units that were stored at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Within a few months, all but one were sold to Precision National Corp. and scrapped here. The 441 was built as Louisville & Nashville E8A 794 in May 1951 and it still wore the F-unit number boxes which the L&N had added. It was renumbered Amtrak 224, rebuilt to E9 specifications in June 1974, and renumbered 441 in November 1975 to make room for F40's. When photographed here it was one month shy of its 30th birthday.
