My Terminal Tower Story:
About 1994, before the Terminal Tower interlocking was rebuilt by Metrolink, the switches were air-operated. One of the MOW guys working for me drove his truck over an above-ground air pipe and broke it which caused a tremendous hissing sound. The Terminal Tower operator called out the air pressure drop on the radio like he was counting down for a rocket launch. When he got to to some low number like zero, he said '..and we're out of service!' I was having a good morning until then, but fortunately it was after the morning rush and the maintainers were able to patch up the pipe in a short time and I don't think any trains were delayed.
The track and signals in that area was overdue for replacement and Metrolink was gearing up for a total rebuilding of the area. In the meantime, we put a welder there full-time to 'repair' (i.e. 'patch') the frogs and switch points. Was always fun when the FRA inspector walked the terminal area with us although the only violation I recall was a BS compromise joint bar issue for rails that had the same cross section!

TERRITORY: These units originally were used nationwide however once Amtrak had exited the Mail & Express business that warranted the need for more power on it's trains (likely part of the reason it ordered 207 P42's), it found itself with excess power. Several of these units were eventually sold off and many remained in storage until 2010 when funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment.
