I choose #1 and #5.

Photo #1 is an SDP40F. :)

Nice shots. Thanks for showing all the different types of cars and equipment---really like the last shot.

I'm curious, why so many Amtrak photos?

I'm scanning and archiving my slide collection on flickr and posting them here as I go.  I hope you don't mind.

I don't midn at all! It is great looking through the history. I just found it interesting that there are so many Amtrak photos. I almost never shoot Amtrak trains. Keep blasting away.

In the P30CH shot in 1976 if you look closely you can see an Amtrak-painted ex-Milwaukee Road Super Dome as well as a former California Zephyr dome-sleeper-observation in the background in the BN coach yard...

Great shots, and thanks for sharing them...
