If you look carefully after the dome car passes while the train departs, I could swear I could see one or two prototype viewliners! Maybe one sleeper and the Viewliner diner. Plus those American European Express passengers cars on the back really show what era this is without seeing a timestamp (if there wasn’t one)! Later became American Orient Express by the mid to late 90’s. Amazing footage!
The last hurrah for Amtrak on the old PRR across northern Indiana.
That is pretty wild. For some reason I had thought Plymouth was an Amtrak stop. Evidently not.
Very cool to see video from that period. Seems like only yesterday, but for me in earnest, it was half a lifetime ago.
That is actually the Capitol Limited at Warsaw. The dome car is the giveaway.

Amazing footage!
the unit leading the train at 28:36 is at the illinois railway museum
that coal train at the end is so so so fantastic. Nice and noisy in all the best ways.
125mph those engines was good back then!
Pre-BNSF era.
This couldn't have been very long before the Limiteds got re-routed via Waterloo
Less than two months.
