Title:
Wow....Espee E units.
Description:
Being from the SF Bay Area, we didn't see SP E units, unless we were very lucky to hit some when we went over to the Peninsula to watch trains. So, the sound of these twin-motored units were very distinct, and got our attention as they were coming back from the west end of the engine escape track between platform tracks 7 and 6, after cutting off the inbound "Sunest Limited" that had arrived before the Lark. Power is heading back to Taylor yard for servicing.

Title:
SP E8 6046
Description:
At least I think it's an E8......PA's went to 6045, and I thought SP had but one E8, and that would be 6046. Still recall how the two 567's in each E seemed to be not quite in snych as they throttled up and down, so it sounded like FOUR units. And they had a different sound from F's and Geeps.

Title:
SP No. 1
Description:
The high, midday summer sun made for poor lighting, but that didn't stop Joe Wilhelm from shooting the westbound
SUNSET
in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Train No. 1 was on track 12, awaiting its 12:01 PM departure, with E9A 6046, E7B 5909 and six cars: an unidentified deadhead, a baggage car, three coaches, and an
AUTOMAT
food service car. The 6046 was the first of the Espee's nine E9A units and was traded-in to EMD in February 1970, while the 5909 was the last of the railroad's 10 E7B's and was sent back to EMD in October 1968. A year after this photo, tracks 7-12 would be shortened by about 600 feet so that a bus parking area could be built here, and then scenes like this would no longer be possible. (approximate day)
