611 / Amtrak / Big Magic Marker - What do these things have in common? A trip to Kingston Station on the NE Corridor in Rhode Island provides the answers.

 

First up is the 611, sorry it's not THE 611

 

 

030

 

A southbound (East) Regional pulls in alongside in what is most likely it's last winter in service:

 

 

046

 

I guess when replacing number boards Amtrak has a big magic marker...

 

 

052

056

 

This thing sure sneaks up on you - Wickford Jct, right up the tracks from Kingston. Note that under 4 feet of snow on the left is the still out of service MBTA (MA Bay Transit Authority) tracks for Wickford Jct.

I like the 611 that is a sharp looking engine. I wish that Amtrak would do a better job keeping the equipment clean. The last time I was on Amtrak going from South station to Philadelphia on a nice sunny day the windows were not the cleanest.

You can tell by looking at the sloppy number 905 job, there's just no reason for that.
