Auto Train
Title:  Auto Train
Description:  One of the more interesting Amtrak operations was the Auto Train. They took over the failed train after Auto Train Corp went under. It was a chance to see Amtraks name on the side of freight equipment-they had a fleet of auto racks-and also some of Amtraks most unusual power, their fleet of GE P30CHs, known affectionately as "pooches." Heres a pair southbound out of Lorton.

Amtrak No. 24
Title:  Amtrak No. 24
Description:  It's 6:42 on a Thursday evening and the eastbound GULF COAST LIMITED is being passed up by the rush-hour traffic on Interstate 10. Today's train is much longer than the typical 3- or 4-car consist, because of a special group that came in today or which has made reservations for tomorrow. Train No. 24 is on the NOUPT Eastern Connection, descending from the Metairie Road overpass, and is just beginning its trip to Mobile. Notice the blue 1984 Louisiana World Exposition signs on the right. The train was introduced shortly before the Fair opened and was discontinued shortly after the Fair closed.

Eastbound Sunset
Title:  Eastbound Sunset
Description:  The eastbound SUNSET passes through the Berwick Bay lift bridge behind P30CH units 704 and 703. The big vertical lift span was installed in 1971 and eliminated the use of a swing span near the Berwick end of the bridge, partially visible on the left. The new centrally-located channel opening greatly reduced the frequency of vessels hitting the bridge.

Title:  Eastbound Sunset
Description:  The eastbound SUNSET rolls off of the Espee's Berwick Bay bridge and into Morgan City with P30CH's 704 and 703 and seven cars. At one time fishing boats would have filled the docks here; but by this time, almost all of these had been replaced with offshore support vessels such as the SUGAR PLUM and its sisters. A railroad siding once ran along Berwick Bay in the open area on the left.
