Not Departing Yet
Although it's at the end of the platform and pointed west, AMTK 43 won't be leaving the Houston Amtrak Station anytime soon.
It had experienced electrical issues with a traction motor while pulling the Sunset Limited a few days before, so it had been set-out.
A contract crew will come out in a few days and change-out the traction motor, and the locomotive would be picked up by another Sunset Limited. In the end, this P42 will get a 9 day stay in Houston.
