- Amtrak #48, the Lake Shore Limited, arrives at Albany-Rensselaer, NY station on October 29, 1996. The locomotives, coaches, sleeper and cafe separate from the rest of the train and move to the Boston track. The New York section with a dual power P32AC-DM locomotive, coaches and cafe backs onto the remaining train and depart for Penn Station, New York. The Boston section with 2 F40 locomotives becomes Amtrak #448. The relief engineer climbs aboard and the Lake Shore Limited departs for South Station, Boston, MA.
Very cool. Ii was neat to see a few Pacific series sleepers in sevice. I own the Pacific View. Very well done.
look at all that heritage equipment!! to bad most of it is gone now ;9 nice vid thanks for sharin it
@gp40mc Between when Amtrak moved out of Grand Central and mid-1994, the Boston section carried both a 10-6 sleeper and the slumbercoach. Boston didn't need two sleepers, but a single FL9 couldn't handle more than eight Heritage cars. Today, it seems like the BOS sleeper is bad-ordered once a week.
Great video!
I really do prefer the older heritage equipment, it looks a lot nicer, but Amfleet is the mainstay though. Love the classic power.
Wow the Boston section was long then!
@1985MANAmericana I wish the boston section was longer. But its better now than it was a few years ago when all it was was 3 amfleet cars. At least now it looks like a long distance train although a very short one.
@gp40mc It's better than it was a few years ago when there was *no* BOS section. At least it's not a connecting train anymore.
Wow to the left of the video is a Metro North P32AC-DM wonder what it was doing there.
Awesome at 0:04 why is there a metro north p32 at the diesel shops
Metro North P32AC-DM sitting there lol. Interesting
i was at this station this morning
what are those 2 luggage cars called at the end of the train?
They were called "Material Handling Cars" or MHCs for short, they hauled mail and various other cargo shipments. Amtrak tried dabbling into express freight for additional revenue back in the 90's and early 2000s but they got out of it by about 2005.
why did the guy cross the tracks.
nope, I have no book called "Locomotive"
why ?
I bet it sucks making those air and power connections in the winter!
i was 7mths old when this vid was made in 96 actualy I was born at Albany medical center
@1985MANAmericana yeah thats what I meant.
