Under the Awning
After experiencing electrical issues with a traction motor while pulling the Sunset Limited a few days before, the train's crew decided to set-out this P42 at the Houston Amtrak Station. Several days later, the locomotive is still sitting dead in the station's depot track.
In a few days, a contract crew will come to change-out the traction motor and the locomotive will be picked up by another Sunset Limited. In the end, this P42 will get a 9 day stay in Houston.
