Bringing AMTK 43 Out of the House
On a cool February evening, the crew of the Sunset Limited brings AMTK 43 out of the depot track at the Houston Amtrak Station. The locomotive had been set-out 9 days earlier after experiencing electrical issues in a traction motor. After a contract crew came out and replaced the traction motor, the next Sunset Limited through town stopped and picked-up the now-repaired locomotive.
The Sunset can be seen in the right background, for which AMTK 43 will soon become the leader. The train crew will tie-on their new locomotive, then wrap-up their station stop for an on-time departure at 6:55 pm.
