SP Super Bowl Special |
| Description: |
At 4:03 on a dark and wet Saturday afternoon the Southern Pacific's 15-car special for Super Bowl XX was about to back in to New Orlean Union Passenger Terminal. However, the dreary weather nicely accentuated the number boards, Gyralight, headlight, extra lights and ground light. The train consisted of SDP45's 3207 and 3201, baggage cars 295 and 298, 10-6 sleeper 292, diner 290, lounge cars 291 and 289 CITY OF ANGELS, and office cars 117 TUCSON, 151 PINE BLUFF, 131 LOS ANGELES, 141 OAKLAND, 99 HOUSTON, 100 AIRSLIE, 106 OREGON, 110 STANFORD and 150 SUNSET. It was quite a train! |

Super Bowl XX |
| Description: |
It's the Sunday of Super Bowl XX at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine house, and a couple of visitors are brightening up the landscape! Southern Pacific SDP45's 3201 and 3207 had arrived the previous day on a 15-car Super Bowl Special. On the same track are P30CH 708 and a sibling, next to them are F40's 262 and 264, and two tracks over are P30's 716 and 706 with F40's 328 and 323. Even more units, including an Amtrak E9A, SDP40F and two Seaboard System F-units, were behind the photographer. |

| Title: |
Super Bowl XX |
| Description: |
In very fresh SPSF paint, a pair of Southern Pacific SDP45's sit outside the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal engine house, while Super Bowl XX was taking place behind them in the Louisiana Super Dome. The two units had arrived the previous day with a 15-car Super Bowl Special. In the background, F40 391 wears special SUPER BOWL SHUTTLE markings on its nose. It had come in earlier in the day with a nine-car special from Chicago. On the track next to the 391 are an E9A, SDP40F, P30CH and two Seaboard System F-units. The Chicago fans went home happy, as their BEARS beat the New England PATRIOTS 46-10. |
