A dozen retired Amtrak E-units were parked at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, waiting to be sold. This auction eliminated almost all of Amtrak's remaining E-units, which were purchased by the Precision National Corp. and then scrapped for their prime movers. On the near track were the 473, 471, 408, 421, 368, 419 (the last E-unit ever built) and 436; while the 426 and 441 were on the left. Other units here included the 411, 422 and 464. |
