I wouldn't suppose they had a problem maintaining schedule for lack of horsepower. My guess is there was an issue with HEP, and they had to have a HEP capable locomotve in the consist. |

Amtrak P30CH 718 |
Description: |
Amtrak P30CH's ( Pooch ) 718 and 714 (trailing) crossing over Canal Street on the Saint Charles Air Line in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is Train 59, The Panama Limited, departing Chicago at 4:20 PM daily and arriving at New Orleans at 10:35 AM, by way of IC/ICG rails. In order to reach those rails, Train 59 backed out of Union Station using BN rails (the rails that the train is about to pass over) to Union Avenue Interlocking out of the frame to the left, where it changed direction and climbed up the Saint Charles Air Line to cross town to the IC/ICG main line along Lake Michigan. |

Amtrak P30CH 720 |
Description: |
Amtrak P30CH 720 at Alton Junction in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 720 is stepping onto new rails, the diamonds at Alton Junction have just been replaced. The Dearborn Street Station was closed in 1971 but the tracks leading to it remained for a few years, including the diamonds and switches at this location. Also note in the middle left of this photo the backwards word AMTRAK. This was the street entrance to the former AT&SF coach yard, which Amtrak used for a period of time until consolidating activities at the former PRR coach yard south of Union Station. |

Amtrak P30CH 720 |
Description: |
Amtrak P30CH 720 as seen from the 18th Street bridge in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The raised bridge in the background once led to Chicago's Grand Central Station, and after the station closed at the end of 1969, The bridge was locked in the up position. The lowered bridge in the background is the ICG (at the time of this photo) Saint Charles Air Line. See the Wikipedia articles for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Station_%28Chicago%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Charles_Air_Line A personal observation, GE never could figure out how to blend in the intake and radiator grills to the design of the locomotive. |

AMTK SW1 732 |
Description: |
Amtrak SW1 732 at Lumber Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Nearly every PRR passenger and mail train in an out of Chicago's Union Station had to negotiate these rails. This shows part of a complicated switching maneuver in which this train, having arrived in Chicago, is then dragged backward about a mile to clear the 22nd Street Interlocking, then shoved up the former leads to Dearborn Street Station to clear the reverse tracks to the former AT&SF coach yard. At that point, this SW1 will be on the wrong end of the train, as the Santa Fe's facilities were stub end, which is where this train will be shoved in and serviced. |
