The power for the trip was SOU 722 and two F units for this very long train. Pic 2 is shot from the rear of the train with a telephoto lens. Pic is the destination of Front Royal.

It took two pictures to cover the photo line from the train.

Hopewell put out one of the earliest commercial railfan videos on this event.  "The Capitol Limiteds '79" has been rereleased on DVD.  While it is neat to see a program on this event, the show suffers from the fairly primitive cameras they were working with back then.

I am the photo line someplace, I'll have to dog my slides out and see if I can't get orientated to see where I was. Seems like Graham Claytor and Jim Bistline were standing behind me.
