E-units 100 and 101 provide power for the cars.

The southern terminal for Amtrak’s CITY OF NEW ORLEANS was initially cut back to Memphis, then it was extended to Jackson and then to Hammond on 13 September. To accommodate this service, the train ran with a locomotive on each end between Jackson and Hammond. In this view, eight days before service was restored out of New Orleans, the northbound CITY was accelerating away from the Hammond depot behind P42 number 91.
