  • I RODE ON THIS EXACT SAME CONSIST!

    On Monday the 7th I rode Amtrak 171 from PHL to WAS, after taking NJT/SEPTA from NYP. I was very surprised when I saw how long the train was. I couldn't believe my luck! In addition to the two cafes there was a second business class car adjacent to the second cafe. At Baltimore the last car (where I rode) barely platformed, and was off the platform at most other stations, including DC.

  • Actually, this was regional 161.

  • Longest train it can platform is 9 cars on the high level platforms. The longest MARC train an evening/morning 9-car all-bilevel train to Perryville has the motor (HHP-8) sticking out at the end. One of the low level platforms (trk 16) is used by the Cap. Ltd. (and MARC trains) and can platform probably 14 or so.

  • How can Union Station not platform a 10 car consist?

  • AWESOME catch! What unit was in the lead? I rode on an 8-car and it had two AEM7s

  • I know, what I'm saying is that the NEXT day this consist was used for 171. (Unless Amtrak has two different consists in use.)

  • damn that is a rare an super rare is is on my favorites the highest regional ive been on was an 7 or 8 car regional coming from boston the train was sold out

  • Usually if they're deadheading a cafe, they put it in the back of the train.

  • it might be deadheading

  • It was so big, it needed 2 cafes. Great catch, this is in my favorites.
