Wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing them.

Photos 1 and 2, makes sense, I suppose, if SP's going to have an Amtrak engine help out on its train, then SP helps out The Starlight in the next photo.

Hard to imagine that those passenger-geared F40s were much help on a freight, but 3000 hp is better than nothing.

The F40 is most likely dead in tow.

Possibly Gary, but I know the UP leased some Amtrak F40s in the 1990s when power was tight. Could be that SP did the same, or that this was a "UP" unit on the SP?

I, too, remember SP leasing Amtrak F40s. That's what I figured was happening in Photo 1, but who knows.
