I worked for Amtrak October 1997-November 2002 Onboard Services. Started on AutoTrain Lorton VA then Washington DC only worked Train 29/30 a few times by that time 29/30 Was Superliner Equipment. From 6:30-6:47 sounds like Winnie one of the conductors that worked 29/30
@@Trainlover1995 Homeland Security did not want to expend the resouces to clear everyone at the border crossing between Port Huron and Sarnia so basically Amtrak\Via were forced to cut the train off at Port Huron. No more through service to Toronto.
Those VIA F40s had the BEST cabs.
I would like to see more of these
5:41 LRC café car, wow

Great video, man! The time of the F40PH is still my favorite Amtrak era.

NICE to hear these old F40PH "screamers" again! Thanks!
Look at that 1990 air!
7:18 my new favorite f40!!!!!!
I remember these years well...
What was that VIA F40 doing south of the border?
Before 9-11 Amtrak and Via where both supplying equipment to the International. Usually a Via F40 was with Amtrack cara and vise versa.
@@trnwatcher Why did they stop after 9/11? Was Amtrak paranoid VIA could be in bed with al-Qaeda?
