It was operated by Auto-Train Corporation, a privately owned railroad carrier founded by Eugene K. Garfield. Begun in 1971, it lasted until 1981 when the Auto-Train Corporation filed bankruptcy. It landed on the Conrail roster as CR 2973. The final dispotion of this loco after the Conrail breakup is unknown. No photographer was listed for this photo. |
