Amtrak train #41 The Broadway Limited to Chicago is seen making a station stop in Lewistown Pa. Notice the introduction of Amfleet to the consist. On the rear behind the diner are a slumbercoach and 2 sleepers. This was a real passenger train compared with today's versions.
What year was this?

The F40s were beasts! Heritage coaches, slumbercoaches, and sleepers...the old days!

nice video man. Amtrak version of the famous Pensy of the same name is only a fraction of what it once was.

Classic F40 "screaming thunderboxes". Ironic and saddening that the 2nd F40 is the one that was part of the Sunset Limited wreck.

Does anyone know if the Lewistown Amtrak station has parking, and if so, whether it's free or fee?

I'm guessing this was shot in 1991.

I really dont think Amtrak should be allowed to use the train names of the Pennsy. The Pennsy was a stately, efficient organization that prided itself on speed and grace. Amtrak is a lumbering, high price behemoth with no style, no grace, and little speed.

i know that. but they were carrying mail. thats the only way the train was getting any profit. it like the Three Rivers had a mail contract with the Postal Service. but the PS cut the contract so the train lost money and got canceled.
