  • This video from 2002 starts with the yard operations in Albany, NY that occur when splitting train 48/448, the Lake Shore Limited. The New York section is on the head end, and the P42s are removed and replaced with a P32AC-DM. A yard crew removed the Road Railers and Express cars from the rear and switch them to another track and a conductor is seen tying on a hand brake. The P42s back down onto the Boston section in order to continue the journey east. After viewing this, I head over to the yard and take a look at some of the last active F40s on the property and tour the shop facility. Note the rebuilt Rohr RTL II Turboliner and FL9 in the yard, as well as the Ethan Allen baggage car and Heritage Coach. With permission, I got a closeup look at the new casting P5A that came off of Turobliner #159 and the old casting P5A on F40 #223. At the end of the video I have a clip of the west bound Lake Shore Limited in Syracuse, NY.

    Good Job! those were some nice catches of the transistion from Phase III to phase V!
    0:40 do all the dual mode P32 locomotives lack rear vestibule doors?
    3:32 Someone is actually using the hand brake on a express boxcar!
    4:37 157 has a different phase V from the other two locomotives
    9:23 was the Turboliner ever in that red and gray paint while in service?

      +MrBnsftrain Yes, all P32s lack the rear door. There were two variations of Phase V on P42s, and the RTL II Turboliner was indeed used in service with that scheme.

    6:19 look at that shiny genesis locomotive!!! Back when Amtrak had the good paint. Now they just like any other commuter train. Must be losing funding.
