Amtrak Adirondak southbound 1976

Amtrak Adirondak southbound just out of Albany-Rensselaer at Staats Island road crossing. Sometime in September 1976. Converted 8mm movie film.
Ex-NYC E8 268 lead a D&H grill car and two ex_NYC "Great Steel Fleet" PS coaches. It is still reaching for 79 mph at this point. Last car really rolls as it's exiting the curve. This is 110 mph, double track territory now.

Wow! I didn’t know this had been taken down to single track at one point.
