Amtrak 48 In Amherst, OH

[TheDylanJoyce]

Why Three Locomotives! the amtrak auto train, america's largest passenger train) has only 2!

[89sayers]

@TheDylanJoyce Amtrak probably needed the third engine in New York or something. They were probably just transporting it.

What time does the Lake Shore Limited come through Cleveland?

[89sayers]

@OhioRails 48 goes through at 5:00 a.m. and 49 goes through around 3:30 a.m.

Nice! Train forty-late living up to its name haha.

[89sayers]

Yep, the Late-For-Sure-Limited. =)

I wonder why it was 2 hours late. I also filmed this train when it was 2 hours late and it was going real fast.

Nice video! You probably were glad to see the train so late; filming in the middle of the night doesn't yield much in return...

[89sayers]

Thanks! All four of the Amtraks (Capitol Limited 29 and 30, and Lake Shore Limited 48 and 49) come through Amherst in the middle of the night between the hours of 1 and 5 (if they are on time). My brother and I are always happy when there is a late Amtrak becuase we rarely get to see them! =)

Nice catch of the triple header.

[89sayers]

Thanks!

Nice catch! How often does the Lake Shore limited have that much power?

[89sayers]

It normally only has two engines. Catching three was pretty rare.

[89sayers]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! =)

[bradh2723]

Thats preety neat!

[89sayers]

Normally I can't video Amtrak becuase they all go through in the middle of the night, but this one was late and came through in the morning. Thanks for commenting!

What ever happened to the heritage dining cars they ran on the lake shore ltd?

[89sayers]

They stopped running them a while back and replaced them with those dinette cars. I'm not sure why they don't run the heritage diner car anymore though.

[gtw4918]

They still run them, but mostly on the silver star. Every so often you can find one on the lake shore limited, but I rarely see them since the Lake Shore ltd pulls into elyria at 4:18 a.m.

[89sayers]

I saw the Silver Star during our vacation to Viriginia and it had the Heritage dining car. This was the first Amtrak video that I could make in Amherst because all of them arrive in Elyria in the middle of the night (unless they're late)
