(RARE: Phase 1 Heritage Unit #156) Amtrak Train #98-Silver Meteor Palatka, FL 8/20/11

Thanks to a much appreciated Youtube bulletin from Mr. Danny Harmon (distantsignal), and a comment from Aaron (CSXBOY187), I was able to go out to Palatka, FL and get this shot, where I met Mr. Bob Pickering who was also getting some shots of the bloody nose unit.

Amtrak Train #98 the Silver Meteor arriving in to Palatka, FL on 8/20/11 at 3:32 PM, 8 minutes late, with P42's 156 (Heritage Unit Phase I) & 130 (Phase V). This train sure did look great, especially being in all phase IVb (minus 156). Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

@trainmasta227 Alrighty, you do that. I guess its just a coincidence that all the other Amfleets on this train had the same decal, and I only stood by it for three minutes, no big deal, not like I would've noticed it or anything. Not like I have 12,000+ miles riding in these cars or anything like that, guess none of the matters, guess I haven't traveled this whole route more than once or anything.

@CSXKid5016 Emergency Instructions are in white or red. If i every see any of these amfleets ill take a picture. It says SIEMENS. I was righ thtere next to it. There was literally 3 feet between me and the train.
