Back when Cotton Belt SD45T-2 was leading Amtrak

Back when Sony BetaMax Recorder was selling for $787; President Carter was debating Reagan on ABC; and "Guilty" by Barbara Streisand was on the top of music charts . . . remember?  It's October 1980, I was with my parents in Sacramento taking pictures of Amtrak Coast Starlight No. 11 led by Cotton Belt SD45T-2, and two Amtrak SDP40F units with Southern Pacific heavyweight business car "Oregon" bringing up the markers.  Nice!  Wish I was onboard the SP "Oregon."   Enjoy.
