SP U25B 6735 |
| Description: |
SP GP35 6665, U25B's 6735 and 6730, and GP35 6659 were on Southern Railway No. 194 as it prepared to leave New Orleans. No. 194 was the Houston-Birmingham run-through train via the SP-SOU, and this was the last time I ever photographed SP U25B's, as most of them were withdrawn from service by the end of the year. |

SP U25B 6736 |
| Description: |
On 11 July 1971 Amtrak’s SUNSET LIMITED left Los Angeles for the first time behind former Union Pacific E-units, but somewhere out in the desert the locos overheated so the train arrived in New Orleans behind a trio of Southern Pacific engines: SP U25B 6736, SP GP35 6547, SP FP7 6454. He is a view of the 6736 in the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal diesel shop, with some railfans inspecting the cab. Southern Railway E8A’s 6908 and 2935 were on the left and NOUPT SW8 number 1 was on the right. The next SUNSET arrived in New Orleans two days later with UP E8A 929, UP E8B 927B, UP E9B 958B, and SP F7B 8109. |
