The Amtrak 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train sits at the station in San Diego, California, on December 3; 2011. The power has been reversed, as the train was towed into town the night before behind Pacific Surfliner #582, but when it leaves San Diego on December 4th the power will run around to the other end and Dash 8-40BP 822 will power the train (since 406 is an unpowered NPCU, rebuilt from F40PH 406).

| Description: |
The Amtrak Fortieth Annivers ry Exhibit Train has set up shop in front of the former Santa Fe depot in San Diego, California, and the Amtrak Police K-9 unit is there to protect it! (Actually, the K-9 unit is there to protect all of Amtraks trains in San Diego.) Amtrak 406 is a former F40PH that has had it prime mover removed in order to convert it to a Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU), and it is coupled to the power for this train, Dash 8-40BP 822 - both of which sport special "retpo" paint schemes with lettering indicating that Amtrak is 40 years old. Besides Amtrak, this busy station also serves Coaster commuter trains and the bright red San Diego Trolleys. |
