Amtrak 666
Title:  Amtrak 666
Description:  OK, so I have never subscribed to the theory held by some old railroaders that certain equipment is a "Hoodoo," or albatross that bad luck seems to flock to. This is my only photo of #666, seen backing onto the Empire Builder. Either ol' 666 was camera shy and used its supernatural powers to screw up my photo, or this was the last image on a 36-exposure roll of Ectachrome. I'll let you decide!

Amtrak 279
Title:  Amtrak 279
Description:  I never got the story on this, but two locomotives are on the rear of train 336 at Milwaukee. 279 appears to have some front end damage and it could be that the previous night's last train hit something. Here it trails the push-pull consist and will soon be disconnected from shore power and bound for Chicago.
