Remarks & Notes

An Amtrak San Diegan set sits in Los Angeles Union Station awaiting its next run (I assume south, as the one going to Santa Barbara was on another track). F40PH #229 was built in May of 1975 and was part of Amtrak's first order of the model that would become the railroad's first truly successful diesel purchase. At this point, it was 18-years-old and ready for maybe another ten years on the roster before its eventual conversion into NCPU cab car 90229.
