Title:
UP 908 with Tr #111 Ready to Chase the Sun
Description:
UP E9A 918 and two B-units were about to leave Savanna, IL (on the Milwaukee Road) and would immediately cross the Mississippi River this late afternoon with thl combined City of Denver and City of Portland. The train would acquire the UP in Omaha. The proud UP kept its passenger engines clean to the end. 908 would work for Amtrak for a while and was returned to the UP unservicable and was scrapped in 1975.

Title:
Amtrak Train No. 1
Description:
Amtrak’s westbound
SUNSET
was in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal with a handsome A-B-B-A set of former Union Pacific E-units and nine cars. The locomotives were E9A 908, E9B 958B. E8B 927B and E9A 947. Former UP E-units had come in on the
SUNSET
for the first time on 15 July 1971, so they were still somewhat of a novelty, and a matched set was rather unusual. Notice that the 908 was displaying
907
in its number boards! Up until 5 July 1965 UP locomotives displayed their train number, and this was done by inserting individual numerals in the number boards; so it looks like someone was having a little fun!
