Remarks & Notes

Amtrak’s train # 35, the Desert Wind, is into its first year of service as it is seen here heading toward LAUPT passing thru Highland Park California in August of 1980. FP40PH # 223 is well in control of her train as she has just crossed Ave. 43. The fortress like structure in the background is the Southwestern Museum, famous for its world class collection and display of Native American artifacts. Today this roadbed hosts the Metros double track Gold Line that runs between Los Angeles and Pasadena. © Steve Crise Photo. Scrise.com.
