| Amtrak train No. 58 – the northbound PANAMA LIMITED – was passing under the U.S. Highway 61 overpass in Kenner, Louisiana as it made its way out of the New Orleans area over the Illinois Central Gulf.. The train had just been converted to head-end power two months earlier and still had a minimal consist of P30CH 721, three Amfleet coaches, an Amfleet food service car and a 1350-series baggage car. (For some reason, today’s cars were in reverse order.) Amtrak would not have enough HEP sleepers for the PANAMA until November. The speed restriction sign on the right and the signals in the distance were for the Kansas City Southern crossing at ORLEANS JUNCTION. (approximate date of photo) |
