Northbound Special to Philadelphia passing under Landover Road in Landover, MD
With a train of about 14 cars behind double-headed GG-1s, this is probably a football special. It is at track speed as it heads north approaching the Landover Road overpass in Landover, MD. The GG-1s are painted in Amtrak's Phase 1 red and silver livery with a blue stripe separating the colors. These two units, the 909 and 926, can't be identified from the image because GG1's had no numerical identification visible from a head (or tail-on) angle. Note that some of the cars have banners attached to their sides. The electrical switchyard in the background provided power to the NE corridor in this area. I badly timed the photo to capture the nose of the lead GG1 as it entered the shade from the overpass.
