Thanks for posting this, very interesting video to watch. Good look into the coordination it takes to assemble this massive mixed passenger train day in and day out. The station building itself looked pretty small back in 1988, I'm almost positive its been replaced with a much larger station since then. Definitely a blast from the past equipment wise, I think the only ones still in operation these days are the Amfleet II coaches. Those P30CH locomotives looked pretty huge, holdovers from the early Amtrak era where the big 6 axle units reigned supreme. Also neat to see a prototype Viewliner sleeper in the consist, 30 years in the future we are waiting for brand new versions of these cars....and they are going to be in pretty much the same paint job!
