Amtrak PANAMA LIMITED
Title:  Amtrak PANAMA LIMITED
Description:  Amtrak train No. 59, the southbound PANAMA LIMITED, was backing into New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal at 12:32 - just a little late - behind Illinois Central GP40 3016. While ICG units ran on the train occasionally, they were usually accompanied by an Amtrak engine to provide heat, especially in November; so running with just a freight unit was really rare! The train consisted of nine cars: baggage car 1070, 6-6-4 sleeper 2154 SILVER ORCHID and 10-6 sleeper 2794 PINELLAS COUNTY, dinner 8310, coaches 5407, 6015, 6077 and 5681, and lounge 3341.
