Remarks & Notes

Amtrak train 14, the northbound ("westbound" on the Southern Pacific’s Los Angeles Division) makes it stop in San Luis Obispo as it makes its way from Los Angeles to Seattle. A pair of recently-delivered SDP40F diesels lead this 13-car (at least) train: AMTK 555 (nearly 3 months old) and 582 (almost two months old). (San Luis Obispo, California – July 1, 1974)
