Every holiday season, Amtrak ends up moving some Horizons from Chicago to New York. It's always really, really busy in New York, and extra cars are needed (although, Chicago always ends up with a shortage, too). Usually, it takes a while to move the Horizons back to Chicago. This video was taken in January, so there were probably some Horizons up in New York, enabling them to be put on the Meteor.
"This was taken from the Public Parking Garage on the 5th foor, which is the top. I like to call this new Parking area, Winter Park's own railfan platform."
I would guess a public parking garage is open to the public.
Wow, what a great video.

Amtrak #4, again. Same good horn. Love, when the engineer gets the clear and how the horn echos, when he blows it.

I wonder what the Horizon coaches were doing on the end of the train.

Nice viewpoint for watching trains at WPK. Can any member of the public get up to the vantage point you had?
