Vacation July 1977 Part 7
Author: SP6190

After out tour of the shops we decided to go back to the motel and rest awhile. Did I mention that it was 107 degrees and about the same humidity. Anyway, later that afternoon we headed out again (after several gallons of liquid to replace lost same) to see what there was to see.

We caught the Lone Star north of town, then headed back south to catch the Inter-American. On our way back through town we stopped to shoot the 1430 doing some switching in the yard.

At Morgan we shot the north bound Inter-American with the Amtrak 368 on the point.

Following Amtrak was the 2878 with two B-units in red and silver. Heading back to Cleburne we find the 2878 again working it’s way to the service area after cutting off from it’s train. In the background is a south bound which will depart as soon as the 2878 clears.

Right color, wrong car, that's a Plymouth they drove a Ford Torino. There's nit-pickers everywhere! Great photos!

Great shots! I can almost smell the fuel, engine oil, and air compressor oil exhausting in the cab of those F's.
