48 cars, that's an impressive Amtrak train! A very neat look into one of the more unique Amtrak operations.
SWEET VIDEO! Wow that train had so much variety back then...TWO full-length dome cars! Amtrak only has one of those on their roster today. 5*****
that is so awesome (and looooong train)it is nice to see the old P40's(8-40BP) in the long gone GE interpretation of the phase lll paint,
What a mixed bag of coaches...I love it!
SuperLiners or AmFleet cars... Didn't really matter to me as long as I didn't have to drive from Lorton to Sanford. It was the most relaxing 16 hour ride I've ever had, and I'd do it again! *grin*
This is the auto train that I remember most.
@TrainDr101: I must correct my own comment. The dome diner is the ex-Milwaukee dome mixed w/ the sleepers. The coach passengers used the kitchen car, buffet car, & table car that were next to the full dome lounge. When the train was converted to superliner 2's, the configuration stayed the same- sleepers had & coaches had their own dining & lounge cars.
Discovered that in the fall it IS used on the Adirondack, but from what I'm told it only operates between Albany and Montreal.
Wow nice Phase III Action!
@ultragor Auto Train got Superliner II sleepers and a "first class" diner in 1994 or 1995. It ran those with Amfleet II coaches and Heritage buffets and domes until 1996.
The Super Dome next to the Diners is a Dome-Diner for 1st class passengers.
I do like them Auto Trains .. must say
Dome history:
9312 - ex-Milwaukee Road 56
9475 - ex-GN 1335
9371 - ex-SP 3602
*Note* I do not know if those numbers are the ones in the train, I just tryed to make out the number the best I can.
0:36 says 811 and 832 are in the lead. Huge 6" numbers on the side.
Awesome! 5***** Footage!
Yes, absolutely sure this was filmed in 1994.
yeah today the dome car is only used in the fall on the Adirondack from new york to Montreal Quebec Canada
@Neno8403 THANK YOU!!!
wow i thought these "genisis" locos got retired but i guess they just got repainted hard to tell when they zip past at 60mph
I think at this time(year) and by the road numbers 811 & 832 these are actually P-40DC's....
im so speechless
Look it up. 811 & 832 are P40DC's.
phase 3 wow that needs a repaint
Are you sure this was filmed in 1994? I thought Auto Train had all Superliner cars by that time.
Amtrak had so many domes! what happened to them all. :(
That is not a Dash 8-40B... It's a GE P42.
Didn't they have superliner survace by this time on the auto train?
Is it really? Last I heard it was in California. I know for a fact it cannot fit under the wire in Penn Station without a deactivation.
too bad amtrak only has one of those dome cars in regular service today
good think amtrak switched to superliners
also its a p40 or amd103 duhhhhhhhhhhh
they got sold to njt
