In and out |
| Description: |
The action is heavy at the station throat. Ex UP 763 pushes the Southwest Chief into the station, as an ancient Conrail SW 1 pulls storage mail out of the Post Office for assingment to Amtrak trains. |

Busy place |
| Description: |
Amtrak 763 pushes the Southwest Chief into the station, as a Conrail SW works the Post Office. The SDP40Fs were common power on western trains, though they were being steadily replaced by F 40s. The SDP40Fs had problems on a couple of western roads, most notably SP, for tracking issues and derailments. The Santa Fe didnt seem to have these problems, however, and did not restrict them. ATSF had experience with this type power, as it had FP 45s on its passenger trains, and seemed to know how to run them without incident. |

| Description: |
No, this is NOT an Amtrak unit on a commuter train...the open doors give away the fact this is just a switching move. AMTK 763 shoves a pair of SP bi-level coaches on loan for the start of local commuter service out of LAUPT. |
