AMTK HEP Baggage 693
Title:  AMTK HEP Baggage 693
Description:  Amtrak HEP generator baggage car 693 passing Metro North's Harlem 125th Street Station in New York City on an unknown day in June 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was built in 1947 by ACF as NYC baggage 9151, became AMTK 1215, then AMTK 1124, converted in 1977 to HEP car 693. I believe there was a diesel-generator set installed in this baggage car generating the three phase 480 volts HEP hotel power for the train.
