NORMAN OK (July) 1977 — Amtrak SDP40F 504 leads Train 16 The Lone Star. The northbound train has crossed Acres Street as it departs city center. EMD built the 504 (s/n 72694-5) in June 1973. After being traded in to EMD its internal components were used in the construction of F40PHR 330. My photo.
The Lone Star State is big on route mileage but small on passenger service with only three routes for the second biggest state by size and population. Offerings include the Sunset Limited, Texas Eagle and Heartland Flyer.
