[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 783974, member: 10543"] Thank you. I highjacked my wife's social media account and learned of it from an area railfan group this morning. Amtrak has a train tracking feature on their website and I was able to use it to get updates. The weather was heavy overcast, but a bit of sun briefly appeared on the locomotive's nose at train time and greatly helped. Some months ago Amtrak combined the Star and Meteor on the Star's route, so the train is more impressive than it used to be, now with two locomotives and more cars. Amtrak is taking delivery of new locomotives, but I have no idea when this train will receive them. Hard to believe that we'll someday look wistfully at GE P42s. No wait, I don't think I'll ever do that. ;) [/QUOTE]
