What a unique picture! Would you by any chance also have a picture of the X996, aka the French CC 21003? See here: http://www.amtrakhistoricalsociety.org/x996.html

Even though there is a book on a shelf across the room which would say, I'm going to wonder out loud whether that conical fitting on X995's roof is part of a steam generator for steam-heated cars. It is a pretty good bet that 1976 was a date before all stock was equipped with electric heat fed from HEP.

Jean-Marc: Thank you for the comment. I do not have any slides of the X996 at this point, but it is a unit I keep an eye out for.
FSWood: No, the RC4 did not have steam heat generators. I am not entirely sure what they are for, but AEM7s are equipped with a variant of that hardware.
