AMTK 450, 224, and 721  Contributor's Pick!       
Amtrak Train 1, the Westbound Sunset Limited, pases through East Bridge Junction behind three different locomotive models. The train's consist was baggage car 1206, dormitory-coach 39927, coaches 39957 and 34010, lounge 33000, diner 38016 and sleeper 32040.

The 450 was one of two F69PH-AC units built by EMD in June 1989. During the second half of 1991 they were frequently used on the Sunset, usually with one F40 or P30; so this 3-unit combination was pretty unusual. In the background on the right are SP Job 604 with MP15AC's 2708 and 2705 and three cars from the New Orleans Public Belt; and SP GP38-2 4819, GP20R 4152 and GP35R 6348, without a train.
