Amtrak E-9A 412
Title:  Amtrak E-9A 412
Description:  Amtrak E-9A 412 (ex-UP 907A) rolls into Harrisburg station. The E-8s caught me by surprise, but having a Gremlin in the shot gives a great historical perspective.

First generation goodies
Title:  First generation goodies
Description:  Were passing the Chicago engine facility just outside Union Station, where first generation power is holding sway. A pair of Es, a GP 7 from the PC Valpo train, and an SW 1 shop switcher dominate the scene, quite typical of the time. Note the building in the background, the Continental Paper Grading Co. I had no idea my teachers were sending my term papers here to get graded. I thought they did it all themselves :-)

WB Broadway Limited
Title:  WB Broadway Limited
Description:  AMT E Units head west with the evening Broadway Limited. Just starting to get a roll with it.The bridge in the immediate background was a walkway over the tracks to the PA Farm Show complex area, but at the time of photo there was no access on either end. Maclay St Bridge is in the extreme back just barely visible at the base of the tall State Bldg. Mail Trains and Amt would always throttle up here and by the time they reached mp 107 they were s...in and gittin. Lots of smoke and noise. Quite the visual and audio rush.

Amtrak E9 414
Title:  Amtrak E9 414
Description:  Amtrak E9 414 trailing (a P30CH is leading) at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in Larch 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 414 was built in August 1961 as UP E9 909 (c/n 26673) on EMD Order 7604, was leased to Amtrak in May 1972 as AMTK 1414, sold to Amtrak in December 1973 becoming AMTK 414. It is seen as the trailing unit on The Valpo, renamed The Calumet by Amtrak.

The Valpo began in 1869 as the PRR Chicago–Valparaiso Accommodation, also known as the Valpo Local or The Dummy. It continued under PC then Conrail until 1979, when Amtrak took over. Amtrak added an addition train between Valparaiso and Chicago, named The Indiana Connection, but by 1990 Conrail decided to abandon its route through Valparaiso, forcing the discontinuance of Amtrak's Valpo trains. The last run of The Valpo was May 3, 1991. The bridge in the background is the ICG's Saint Charles Air Line.
