It's a couple of minutes before five o'clock, and the westbound SUNSET is making its station stop at New Iberia, Louisiana. The train consists of F40's 242 and 204, baggage car 1229, deadheading coach-baggage 31005, dormitory-coach 39954, coach 34100, lounge 33020, diner 38011, sleepers 32043 and 32034, and private car CANNON BALL. During this time, the SUNSET's usual power was a pair of P30CH's; but for some reason, the eastbound train had come east with these two EMD's the previous day; and now they were heading back home to California. |
