| Un-named Seaboard Coast Line train 94 had just arrived in Jacksonville after its 275-mile, 6½-hour trip from St. Petersburg via Ocala and Gainesville. Train 94 disappeared four months later, with the beginning of Amtrak; but E8A 575 survived another 10 years. The locomotive had been built in June 1946 as Atlantic Coast Line E7A 532; but it was wrecked at Dillon, South Carolina in 1953 and rebuilt by EMD as an E8A. It was renumbered SCL 575 in 1967, became Amtrak 233 in 1971, Amtrak 444 in 1975 and went to Precision National Corp. in early 1981 when Amtrak sold off almost all of its remaining E-units. |
