Used to watch from the crossing when F units and the Crescent would go through in the early '60s. Relatives buried in the cementary in Clifotn. Played on pulp cars there on the sidings. Nothing like it used to be. People are know it alls and do not have a clue in the way it really was. B&O, Seaboard, Souther as well as the RF&O used the track. Really miss the time. Went to the Nam in '69 and that was it. J

Amtrak tried adding more cars to the consist but the kept derailing around the curves in the virginia mountains,
-
That's how all trains are supposed to be run. Usually everybody at the main stations that put together the trains are too lazy and don't have good enough bosses to enforce the rules. Look at all the old clips of trains in the 50's and 60's. That's how they're all run.

once on an eastbound cardinal the train was really long at least 10 cars, there were three engines. It was right after October break and there were at least 3 cars of students going to Purdue.

With gas prices the way they're going, and airline tickets through the roof, I think Amtrak trains may start to see an increase in ridership soon.

I filmed the cardinal and hoosier when theywere coupled together (they do that until they get to Indianapolis

Sometimes it has a lot of sleepers and coaches, you should see it on peak times. And on off-peak times, I once saw the Hoosier State with just one coach attached to a buffer car and two engines, no doubt they were moving one of the engines but it was still a pretty funny sight. Of course Hoosier State is just local service though. It is a fun train to ride.
-
yes it is, its the same through Indianapolis too.
-
why does the cardinal always have the sleper car in the very back? thats how i can tell its the cardinal.

Cool shot, I like that train.

I narrate on the Cardinal here in West Virginia. It is a very nice route to go on while coming through the New River Gorge up to the Greenbrier River Valley. Sad to say that the train is losing business bad

Fred: it is a shame. I think the Cardinal is THE most scenic Amtrak passenger train east of the Mississippi. Since you have a bit of an insider's advantage, do you think I should enjoy this train sooner than later? I have a young daughter...anxiously awaiting for her to get older...so we can share a memorable trip on this train. But judging from all the posts on this thread, maybe I ought to move on it now.
