Remarks & Notes

On America’s 200th Birthday, Amtrak’s train 40, the eastbound Broadway Limited, departs downtown Chicago for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where the train will be split, with one section continuing on the Washington DC and the other section heading up to New York City. Two-year-old SDP40Fs 601 and 592 are in charge of this 12-car train, at least until Harrisburg, where each section will have the diesel changed to electric power – most likely a former-Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 on each section. (Chicago, Illinois – July 4, 1976)
