Brilliant Thom! Love that the NBA is using Amtrak for short jumps versus the hassle of a flight shuttle, great stuff!!!

That Metroliner lead car is SO cool! I got to ride the old-school Metroliner once. I was pretty young and don't remember a lot. But, still.

Doing a great Keystone impersonation. 😂

i always found it fascinating how yall run the locomotive in push mode and just drive the rake backwards from the last coach. seems quite efficient!

Gotta love the 9800, even when it's not essentially a cab car
