Amtrak Road Locomotives

P42DC 1 thru 111 - 25 photos, updated on 06.11.2004

Here are locomotives part of the "intercity" pool of engines, with the exception of 101 thru 111 regularly used in the Northeast that are not often seen out west.

P42DC 112 thru 120 - 73 photos, updated on 12.28.2004

Locomotives 112 thru 120 is primarily assigned to the Coast Starlight route, which runs between Los Angeles and Seattle. Since I see and photograph this train quite often, I've created a gallery solely for these regularly-assigned Coast Starlight locomotives.

P42DC 121 thru 207 - Coming soon

Locomotives 121 and 122 are replacements for the 807 and 829 that were destroyed in the City of NOL wreck in Illinois. 123 thru 207 is an order of brand new locomotives that were delivered from year 2000 thru 2002.

P32ACDM 700 thru 717 - 8 photos, updated on 12.17.2004

The P32ACDM locomotives are based in the New York City area, since they're configured to operate under diesel power, or draw Alternative Current from the electrified third rail into the underground tunnels and stations. They're also known as "Dual Modes", and rarely venture out of the Northeast territory.

P40 800 thru 843 - 13 photos, updated on 12.10.2004

The P40s aren't as active as they used to be, and can be seen on the Auto Train and Sunset Limited. At least half of the group is in storage with a good portion of them up for sale.

F59PHI 450 thru 470 - 112 photos, updated on 07.06.2004

The F59PHI locomotives are primarily assigned to trains on the west coast, ranging from Cascades, to Capitol Corridor, to Surfliner service, and even showing up on the Coast Starlight and SW Chief routes.

P32-8BWH 500 thru 519 - 47 photos, updated on 06.13.2004

Otherwise known as the "Pepsi Cans", they're seen in mainline service, switchers at terminals, and on the special seasonal trains. They're becoming rare and may soon be phased out of service, get your photos while you can!

Freight Trains

Burlington Northern Santa Fe - 31 photos, updated on 10.23.2004

I'm not really an avid freight chaser, but I do photograph them when I come across one. A lot of these photos are taken from passenger trains passing a freight train -- I especially like the matching marooon grain cars that's earned the nickname "earthworm" because it resembles one as seen from the distance.

Union Pacific - 47 photos, updated on 11.28.2004

Union Pacific isn't exactly a favorite, but I surprised myself at how many photos I have taken of UP. I guess it's because I see them more than I see BNSF, and usually take a photo if I happen to be there with a camera.

Preserved Steam Locomotives

Orange Empire Railway Museum - 9 photos, updated on 06.18.2004

The Orange Empire Railway Museum has a vast collection of railroad locomotives, many still in operable condition. This gallery is a small, yet growing set of photos of steam locomotives there. If you're visiting Southern California, this is the museum to see!
