Amtrak train 671 passing by Rahway, NJ

Filmed on August 16, 2008 at the Rahway station in New Jersey on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. At about 7:49PM we catch an Amtrak AEM7 (can't remember the number) with 6 Amfleet cars flying past the station. This train is believed to be train #671 - the Keystone to Harrisburg, PA. I apologize for the poor focus in the opening seconds.

@MrZkr123

If it was - it was very late - and I thought the Vermonter had a baggage car. If it was't the Keystone it just a Northeast Regional.

Ok, that's screwed up. THE CAB CAR IS MUed RIGHT BEHIND THE AEM-7. This obviously isn't a deadhead move. What's the explaination for this

[RailFanTV]

Well no, that's not a deadhead - that is the Keystone headed to Harrisburg. I have no idea why Amtrak would do this - I mean I've seen Long Island Railroad use some of their bi-level push-pull cabs as trailers and until I shot this I never knew Amtrak had push-pulls. You got me on this one!

That's probably what happened or close to it, but I still don't see why they couldn't have put the engine on the other end of the train.

The Keystone's timetable coincided with the timing of the passing by Rahway - 2 other people have confirmed it - this had to be train 671.

LOL, the first car is a cab car!
