Amtrak Updates
Re: Amtrak Updates
Amtrak train 48 had an observation car on the rear early on 7/3/11. I took a video of it in Elkhart, IN and made screen shots. Unfortunately, you can not read lit sign which commemorates Amtrak's 40 years, 1971-2011.
I should have walked down the platform when it was stopped and tried to take a picture of it stopped.

Re: Amtrak Updates
Does anyone know if that 517 P32 has been on any of the Michigan line trains? (Buster's help would be good right about now...)

Re: Amtrak Updates
Northbound NE Regional train 172 had AEM7 #145 leading today.
Southbound NE Regional train 173 had AEM7 #116 leading today.
Both trains had the standard 7 Amfleet car consist, and passed just east of the Guilford, CT ShoreLine East Station.

Re: Amtrak Updates
You mean AEM7s 916 and 945, right? 116 and 145 are P42s, with 145 being the Phase III heritage unit of course.GP30M4216 wrote:Northbound NE Regional train 172 had AEM7 #145 leading today.

Re: Amtrak Updates
It looks like the brick platform at Elkhart is still holding up. I did some repairs to it back in 2007. Hope no more problems have developed!Amtrak train 48 had an observation car on the rear early on 7/3/11. I took a video of it in Elkhart, IN and made screen shots.

Re: Amtrak Updates
364 has a couple of notable units tonight.
Leading is P40 817. This wouldn't seem very significant, but there are two very interesting points with it:
1. It led President Clinton's POTUS Campaign train in 1996, which included a visit to Michigan.
2. It features a (very well tuned) K5L horn, instead of the usual K5LA. This is the base K5 and is tuned to play the Canadian D# Minor chord. It is more commonly found on older CSX Dash-8s and BC Rail units.
The trailing unit, and tomorrow's leader for 365, will likely be of more interest to many of you: The ever-sought after B32 517.
