EMDX SDP40F 169
Title:  EMDX SDP40F 169
Description:  EMDX SDP40F 169 at Riverdale, Illinois on February 27, 1983, Kodachrome by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 169 was built in June 1974 ( c/n 74611-30 ) as Amtrak 609, traded back to EMD as credit for F40PH locomotives. It was retained by EMD as a test bed for the then-new EMD 710 prime mover. It was sent to Colorado for high altitude testing of the 710. I don't know its final disposition, nor do I know if it was a locomotive at all. It may have been a transport vehicle for the prime mover, that is, I don't think it could move itself. Corrections and additional information welcome.

SOU 6905
Title:  SOU 6905
Description:  A colorful assortment of power sits at the Ivy City Engine Terminal in Washington DC on a September day in 1975. Front and center is Southern Railway E8A 6905 (ex-SOU 2928, built 9/51), still in passenger service for the Southern Railway (which did not initially join the Amtrak system when it was formed in 1971). Hiding behind the E-unit is Baltimore & Ohio 6606, a steam-generator equipped GP9 used on Washington to Baltimore commuter trains. And behind that is an assortment of Amtrak SDP40F diesels (582 and, behind that, 609, with others not visible).
