Other then the windows, the interiors resemble that of commercial aircrafts.

I always wondered why the Caroninian does not have Amfleet 2s.

[Amtrak839]

They don't have enough for it.

cool vid man, i recorded amtrak here in alabama, on april 9th with engines 181&12 on#20, I see they didnt switch the units around this time, they just sent them back on 19.

[Amtrak839]

Yeah, they do that a lot. I've made a couple days trips up to BAL out of MSS on the Crescent, and both times we had the same engines returning on 19 as we'd had going up on 20.

[Amtrak839]

couple of day trips*

[JgordonAmtrak1]

wow cool, i guess they dont want to change the units for each route.

[amtrakrailfan]

finally the cardinal!!! was it late? and does in always run late??

[Amtrak839]

pretty much.  eastbound into ALX anyway. only about half an hour that day. it makes up some time in DC though, they padded the schedule there, so it often gets to NYP on time.

oops, i fucked up the video of 66

oh well

[Amtrak839]

Not a problem. we were all talking, so i would have had to cut it, even if you had left the camera on.
