Remarks & Notes

It didn't take long for Auto Train's fleet of U36Bs to look tired. White is simply not an ideal color for a locomotive pilot. Southbound No. 3 was departing Auto Train's northern terminus at Lorton, VA Nov. 14, 1976 and passing under one of RF&P's classic wooden overhead bridges.

An innovative idea that became successful but grew too fast, plus the gaudiest paint scheme of all time.

Things change. Railroads are no different. A collection of images showing the railroads as they used to be.
