Throughout the month of November, I went out to Selma, NC along the CSX A-Line to do railfanning. This individual video focuses on most of North Carolina's Amtrak Service including the Auto Train, Silver Star, Silver Meteor, Caroinian, and Palmetto. (Trains 89, 90, 91, 92, 97, and 53 are included). You'll get 2 "Shave and a Haircuts", a pair of restored P40DC's on the Auto Train, and much more in this video. In the first 2 minutes, I show you aroud Selma, to give you a feel for the area.
