In July 2000, Philadelphia hosted the Republican Convention, and Union Pacific sent most of its passenger fleet to be used as a hotel for special guests. The train traveled the River Line and came down the Trenton Line led by CSX power.

  • Republican Convetnion Train? more like toxic wastee.............

  • Terrible consist 2 freight diesel's in front = FAIL.

  • what were the two diesels in the consist

  • the UP Officer vitage fleet, it used to be the train set for the City San Francisco right? Also, why is a CSX engine pulling the train, cant the F Unit handle it?

  • Long train, that's a lot of Republicans. ;)

  • DAS,

    The 4 axle GE's are lighter and for this run would consume less fuel. Plus the six axle power (GE and EMD) is slower on the take-off.

  • Kj, yes that's a K5LA. Sad that they're gradually being displaced by the newer K5LLA and K3LLA horns, which sound similar but dischorded.

  • CSX was providing extra horsepower as the UP OCS train was longer than usual.

  • The CSX engine that was pulling that train sounded like it had a K5LA horn on it, like most of Amtrak's current locomotives that pull their trains.

  • this video confirms my belief that CSX execs are a bunch of sniveling brats. NS would've let UP run their rails solo (as they do all over the south east)
