On Friday, February 7th, Amtrak ACS-64 #600 will operate on revenue train #171 from BOS-WAS

By itself, or AEM-7 MU just in cast the new unit goes Gomez Addams?

From what I understand, Joe Biden gave his blessing today.  No other information was supplied.  I'm just gonna go and freeze for an hour, maybe get a vid.

Thank you for the heads up.

If the weather was nicer would think about taking the Gamblers to 30th Street for a close up view.

Got an HD video.

Caught this train in Warwick RI. Looking good. Pictures over the weekend.

Rear was brought up by business car Beach Grove 1001 ( I think it's Beach Grove).

She was moving right along.

I saw that and assumed it was some kind of cab control car.  A Wikipedia entry Says it is the "Amtrak Presidents" car.  I wonder if Joe Biden took a ride to Boston and back.

I don't think Joe Biden was on that train-- if he had been, there would have been no way for anyone to get that close to the tracks without being stopped by the secret service or the local police. That said, the new engine looks real nice at speed.

I love the big windows - I can see at least three guys in the cab.

The Beach Grove is a very cool car as well - I have seen it on two other occasions and the view must be pretty good from that porch.

A little better looking than the last toaster..but still a toaster !

Thank you Bob

A couple more pix, from Metropark on Friday. Locomotive pulling into the station, and the car with the platform (Beech Grove - assuming it's named after the shops near Indy). Davi

After I'd put the camera away, two Acelas met just south of the platforms, sending snow and ice flying. Rats.

The Viewliner-2 cars are coming with the wide tri-color stripes.  This would looke better than the "3 pieces in the wind" livery.
