amtrak here is so much different then what we have up north! for once this is all diesel while we have a mix with electric and the "high speed" rail!.... greetings from NYC!
One of Tri-Rail's Colorado Railcar DMUs. At that time, it was temporarily replacing one of the Bombardier cars that was in the car shop at CSX's Hialeah Yard.
If you include the locomotives, the longest Tri-Rail train I have seen had 6 Bombardiers and 3 locomotives (2 GP49s and 1 F40PH). It's in one of my recent videos and that night, Tri-Rail P649 was doubleheading at the same time that they were deadheading a train to Hialeah Yard.
I have a few times, but none that I can remember off the top of my head.
Though I didn't mention this, this is the first time in person that I have ever seen the Silver Star and Silver Meteor with 3 Viewliners in the same day.

I saw that. Reminded me of a similar northbound consist I once saw with 810 in the mix. 5 cars only, if I recall correctly.
The 6-car consist I saw was unbroken - 811 leading 6 Bombadiers, in service.
PM me - I have photos of each.

Awesome video! I like the way the sounds echoed under the Andrews Av overpass!
