AMTK 502 |
| Description: |
FORT WORTH TX Jan 1974 -- Amtrak SDP40F 502 is on the lead of Train 15 as it passes the round end dome observation car on the rear of train 16. The car is the former CB&Q California Zephyr car 375. At this time both trains operated under Santa Fe’s former Texas Chief name. In March 1974 Santa Fe management determined the train no longer met service standards and withdrew permission for Amtrak to use the name. Amtrak operated the train as the Lone Star until it was discontinued in October 1979. EMD built the 502 (b/n 72694-3) for Amtrak in June 1973. The 502 was traded to EMD and most of its internal parts were used on F40PHR 388.

The two are part of the short pool which operated from Arkansas City KS to Purcell OK. Wayne and Johnny were good friends of the Norman OK railfan group. We even met them for dinner at a restauranti in Purcell after they brought in in the southbound train. The next day they would board the northbound for their return to Ark City. If they saw one of us out taking pictures they would wrap train orders around a flare and throw them to us. |

| Description: |
NORMAN OK Oct 8 1979 -- With a contrail of the competition overhead the last Southbound Lone Star to comes to a stop. The train was discontinued by Amtrak a week earlier but a lawsuit forced Amtrak to run this much-reduced version of trains 15 and 16. In this photo Amtrak Agent Charlie Bandt (left) is at trackside to bid farewell to passenger service and his job. Years later passenger service was restored when the state subsidized an Oklahoma City to Fort Worth and return train named the Heartland Flyer. Efforts are still underway to extend service to Kansas City. |

NORMAN OK -- Amtrak SDP40F 525, hauling the northbound Lone Star, pulls to a stop in Norman. Regrettably I neglected to date this slide but it is in the early years of Amtrak as evidenced by the red nose and headless arrow. Therefore the date listed is a best guess. I worked as wire editor for The Norman Transcript and we used this photo to illustrate Amtrak's plans to discontinue the Lone Star Route. Ironcally the picture and story were on the front page of our annual Progress Edition. The edition extolled the virtues and progressof Norman and the surrounding area. |
