AMTK 590, SDP40F, 1976 |
| Description: |
AHC. Here is an original photo by Larry Moss that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 11 October 1976. Prominent here are AMTK engines #590 and #470-B. Both were built by GM-EMD. #590 is an SDP40F constructed in May of 1974 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. #470 is an E-9B built originally for the Union Pacific Railroad in October of 1955 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. They're rounding the Curve with a passenger train on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. This photo was taken during the time when Track 2 was being removed, hence the presence of the maintenance-of-way equipment parked there. |

Amtrak E-9B 470 |
| Description: |
Amtrak E-9B 470 (ex-UP 972B) follows lead E-9A 412 into Harrisburg station. Even though the E units caught me by surprise, having a Gremlin in the shot gave a historical perspective. |

| Description: |
Amtrak E9B 470 was stored out of service at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, and it was sold to Precision National Corp. about six months later, along with most of Amtrak's remaining E-units. It had been built in October 1955 as Union Pacific 972B, went to Amtrak in 1971 and was scrapped here at NOUPT in April 1982. |
