Amtrak Train 20 |
| Description: |
At 7:35 on a Wednesday morning F40 258, E9A 420 and E9B 473 were leading the northbound CRESCENT across Lake Pontchartrain on the Southern Railway. This was a typical set of power between the summer of 1979, when Amtrak’s lease on the Southern Railway E8A’s expired, and the conversion of the train to head-end power (HEP) a year later. |

Amtrak No. 20 |
| Description: |
Amtrak Train No. 20, the northbound CRESCENT, nears the north end of the Lake Pontchartrain trestle. The train consisted of F40 259, a baggage car, baggage-dormitory car, four coaches, 10-6 sleeper, and diner. When the photo was taken, the old swing span had already been replaced with a lift bridge; but the replacement of the wooden trestle with concrete spans hadn't happened yet. |

Amtrak Train No. 1 |
| Description: |
At 5:38 PM on Saturday 31 March 1984 Amtrak train No. 1 – the westbound SUNSET LIMITED – was stopped at the station in Lafayette, Louisiana. The train was powered by F4 326 with P30CH units 710 and 721. This station had been built by the Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) in 1912 but was severely damaged by a fire in 2001. The city restored the building, and it reopened in 2007. It was one of several depots along the Sunset Route in Louisiana which were set back from the platform. |
