Nostalgia & History > A 12 car Sunset LimitedDate: 05/22/20 11:10 A 12 car Sunset Limited Author: gcm Dec 76
Twelve cars - including one deadhead or buffer car, 4 sleepers and an ex-CZ observation car. Headed east at Missouri City,Tx coming in to Houston. Above the observation in the distance can be seen the Astrodome. Gary  Date: 05/22/20 14:58 Re: A 12 car Sunset Limited Author: rrpreservation Thanks for sharing this shot, what a catch!!

Gary Posted from Android Date: 05/22/20 17:56 Re: A 12 car Sunset Limited Author: Hou74-76 Seeing that beautiful consist of four sleepers, three hi-Level coaches and a dome observation is a testament to Amtrak improving overall service to the Sunset line. It may have lost lots of money but just think of the contrast to the Amtrak Sunset Limited here to the SP Sunset of 1968. Great shot of a near perfect, Amtrak, mid-1970 train.

Thanks for your photo posting. ALLEN Date: 05/23/20 16:10 Re: A 12 car Sunset Limited Author: 41 Last sleeper (not the obs) is actually an x-SP car.
Good shot. |
