  • Beautiful!!!

  • Sweet catch!

  • Nice Train / Video Bob.

  • Now if they attached a cabless P42DC instead of #66 we'd have a true streamliner!

  • Awesome catch Bob!

  • Was that the "Hiawatha"?

    In 1953, when I was seven years old, after taking a train from Grammaw and Grampaw's house in Owensboro, Kentucky, Mama and us kids rode the "Hiawatha" between Chicago and Seattle, where we boarded the USNS GENERAL M.M. PATRICK to sail to Yokohama, Japan to go live with Daddy at Ashiya Air Force Base on the island of Kyushu.

    I remember that solarium lounge car on the end of the "Hiawatha", for we spent a lot of time there.

  • Awesome catch. 

  • Now that's a Amtrak special done right. Awesome catch and K5LA Bob

  • I was on that today. Overall, it was fun. Got a chance to ride in both Super Dome and Cedar Rapids. The last the of the the trip however, felt like it went on and on. Still, glad We made it to Train Festival.

  • You lucky dog you lol
