Been dying to see a vid of this, actually engine 716 is a P32AC-DM, a dieso-electric engine capable of using third rail power to enter Penn Station where P42DC's aren't allowed. The P42's coming from Boston along with the cars it pulled will go in the front of the LSL. great video!

Is this how Amtrak always does this? I thought they took the engine of the NY section and just placed the Boston section in front, keeping the engines from the Boston section.
