Tunnel Motor on Amtrak California Zephyr - Oakland CA 16th St Station 1988 [AI enhanced]

- An early 1988 visit to Oakland, California's 16th St Station (built by Southern Pacific in 1912) brought a surprise: a SD40T-2 "Tunnel Motor" on the point of the California Zephyr, Train 6, as it arrived from the coachyard. One of the F40PH locos had its turbocharger fail before the start of the eastward trip to Chicago, and SP came to the rescue.
In addition to the unexpected locomotive, this train seems peculiar in that there's only one sleeping car. (There are coaches where sleeping cars would be in current practice.) There are two baggage cars: one a former "ambulance car" (US military) and the other from the Northern Pacific.
Enjoy the sounds of the 16-cylinder EMD 645 engine and turbocharger, as well as all the creaks, squeaks, and rumbling.
Also seen is a northbound San Joaquin arriving in Oakland, pulled by a Phase III F40PH and a mix of Phase II and Phase III hi-level cars and Superliners.

Love these old ones
I wish I had shot a lot more video than I did!
Thank you Clara Handover: Enjoy your own job there.
Love the views of 16th St. Station, real sad to see what it has become. Always thought they shoulda kept it on and rebuilt it instead of abandoning and allowing the freeway to be built in front. I guess I could also say the same about what happened in Sacramento.
Yes, the 1989 earthquake required a new freeway routing (since it could no longer be double decker), and I'm sure SP was more than happy to charge the state a high price for the land.
Jetta's Dad, and Grandma.
So in return a new Kddie era begins.
Farewell Clara handover: Good Luck at the one of them island stores.
New.
Back when Amtrak ran longer trains!!
F40,s still better than the newer P42,s,better yet than their new ALCS Chargers!!!!
I hate no humans , I do struggle with graffiti artist , who take upon themselves too deface irreplaceable historic buildings . The Earthquake was a Act of God , the destruction by humans is no excuse .
