Still using SP crews as they make a change on the eastbound Sunset Limited in Houston. A reworked image. Gary  Date: 01/24/23 11:21 Re: Changing crews on the Sunset Author: train1275 Geez, those were the days !

I don't recognize the crew but I bet those two younger ones had been to Gilley's Club in Pasadena a time or two. It was the hot spot in Houston. The movie Urban Cowboy was still far off, but there was a lot of western wear by non-uniformed train crew. There was also a good chance that the engineer could talk to you in a Cajun dialect...I guarantee.
