  • This video is meant to document some of the operations and activities associated with the arrival of Amtrak's northbound Auto Train #52 at its northern terminus in Lorton, Virginia in October 1988. Included are scenes of the train pulling into the terminal off of the RF&P Railroad, the terminal area, and the positioning and unloading of Auto Carriers.

      Yeah, the haters think the p30ch is one of those diesels that get up really late and forget their coffee. Well I have a question for them does everyone drink coffee?

    While many of the non-Amfleet II cars from this train no longer exist, I know for a fact that Buffet car #8704 still operates as a snack/souvenir car for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad out of Cleveland, Ohio. I believe they bought two of them, and I think #8700 is the other one.

    Hello, would you be alright if I used this video and similar Auto Train in a TH-cam documentary I'm making? Will credit of course.
    Cheers.

    I'm surprised that the Buffet Cars were never modelled in Ho scale or N scale. Let see the Buffet Cars Configuration

      Perhaps they were, just not by a mass manufacturer but a brass company?
