AMTK 450, 224, and 721
Title:  AMTK 450, 224, and 721
Description:  Amtrak Train 1, the Westbound Sunset Limited, pases through East Bridge Junction behind three different locomotive models. The train's consist was baggage car 1206, dormitory-coach 39927, coaches 39957 and 34010, lounge 33000, diner 38016 and sleeper 32040.

The 450 was one of two F69PH-AC units built by EMD in June 1989. During the second half of 1991 they were frequently used on the Sunset, usually with one F40 or P30; so this 3-unit combination was pretty unusual. In the background on the right are SP Job 604 with MP15AC's 2708 and 2705 and three cars from the New Orleans Public Belt; and SP GP38-2 4819, GP20R 4152 and GP35R 6348, without a train.
