Amtrak storms by Cape Cod Railroad Pumpkin

Ah, the good old days...Amtrak used to make weekend runs to Cape Cod, and when they did they'd meet the Cape Cod Railroad scenic train on sunday afternoons. Here's one such runby -- listen to Amtrak engineer Herbie Clark lean on the horn! The Cape Cod F10 is a rebuilt F3, and was formerly used in commuter service in Boston.

[Superedit]

@TheDylanJoyce The Cape Codder originated in Boston during its final years; the cab car was used for the run down to the Cape, and the F40 lead on the trip back to South Station.

To the gentleman who posted - Yes, Herbie had something like 55 years service, all the way back to the New Haven if memory serves. I think he went on to work for CCRR for a couple of years.
