Re: Amtrak Pere Marquette Silver Celebration
Aside from the P42, care to enlighten us as to what those other cars are?

Re: Amtrak Pere Marquette Silver Celebration
They are all Superliners. Only thing I can come up with is 33009 is an old Siteseer Lounge with curved windows on the roofline like so:
Other than that, I'm stumped as well. The rest of them are normal Superlines, and definately nothing special about a P42...

Re: Amtrak Pere Marquette Silver Celebration
Would be nice if that became the regular consist. Except with a 8-32PHW on the point....

And second of all you might have some issues if you get geeked over a view liner ride from GR to Holland since the tracks parallel the road for 90% of the trip i can get better view of Chi drive and the farmland from my truck.Oh and im not a foamer TY im a railfan sorsinoms wrote:HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY AMTRAK'S PERE MARQUETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and u guys are lame that is why the cool foamers are venturing out!!!

Bah... I do remember weeding the muck fields and noticing the first silver bullet going by in the mid '80s.
I drank coffee on the 397 parked across from the gas station waiting to get east...
Amtrak killed my quit.
