This train is for Wounded Warriors, thanks to the generosity of Bennett and Vivian Levin. Amazing what a luxury train ride and the Army-Navy game can do for military personnel recovering from wounds.
Too bad Amtrak (at least last I read) only allows them 90 due to their "antiquated" brake stands. If they were still good for 100 that would be awesome. But I can't really complain.
Always enjoyable seeing E units doing what the did best! I like the engineer's horn blowing pattern. Still, I wish these Es had Leslie A-200 honkers instaed of the Nathan Ks. Honkers and E units go together like peanut butter and jelly!
Boy that train was M-O-V-I-N-G!!!!! I also prefer cab units without the lower headlight location. They look more genuine to me with just the top headlight.

Oaksmodelrr, I noticed that the same sound track is used for all 3 scenes of the train zipping by.

@ACLTony The Pennsy E's came from the factory with M-3's. The K-3's they now have look similar but you can't get parts for M-series any more.

Those E-units were good for 90 MPH on the corridor and they were doing every bit of it!! Who says you need a Mars light to do over 80? ;>)
