I'm going to have to get a drone;
I'm getting too old to climb up on bridges,
On the way to Homestake Pass and Butte.

The AMTK 702 encountered issues near Batavia last night, so CSX sent B791 from Rochester to assist in taking them to Exchange Street, which later Amtrak would set off 716 from 49 to finish it's journey to Niagara Falls.
Double Heritage. On Friday, September 30, 2022, Amtrak Train 20 (Crescent) had 2 of Amtrak's anniversary engines for power. P42DCs AMTK 161 (Phase I, 50th Anniversary) and AMTK 145 (Phase III, 40th Anniversary) lead an unusual edition of the Crescent as the consist was reversed to accommodate the presence of the "American View" (AMTK 10004) on the rear. The car carried VIPs on part of the trip to Laurel, Mississippi for a celebration with the cast of the HGTV show "HomeTown". The train is seen crossing Lake Pontchartrain as it approaches Slidell, Louisiana.
Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 sprints along the Price River east of Colton, Utah the morning of June 5, 2016. Four business cars were on the train, as was Amtrak President and CEO Joseph H. Boardman. He began his career with Amtrak in 2008 and retired on Sept. 1, 2016.

Continuing with more E units. When Amtrak started and PC was allowed to discontinue the daytime westbound #53, the only time we could see any passenger action across the Pennsy in daytime was if the Broadway Limited was later enough to show up after sunrise. Such was the case on this sunny day in April 1978 when the Broadway was late enough to get some sun on the curves descending Big Run Hill between Orrville and Wooster near Geyers Chapel Rd.
Close to the same spot as the gas train posted.
The North Coast Hiawatha has just topped the hill with private car Mountain View trailing.
Furthest west I ever went with Amtrak. It was mainly to get this car.

Amtrak train 137 hustles through Guilford, Connecticut. Leading the train is the Phase iii wrapped 662, I was happy when I heard this train had the 662 as 137 usually gets good late afternoon light this time of year. While Amtrak isn’t my favorite railroad, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shoot this engine in the sweet late afternoon light.
Waves from the mighty Pacific lap the sun drenched shore of California's Gaviota State Beach as the Coast Starlight soars overhead. Private rail car 'Cyrus K Holliday' brings up the markers as #14 heads for points north.
