Once we left the normal Amtrak route we were no longer an Amtrak special train and could no longer use the Amtrak equipment (Amtrak policy). The host railroad switched to Vermont Rail and we used their locomotives and power car while we traveled on their network until we returned to Rutland and on the normal Amtrak route.
Awesome video! Is this train coming by North Carolina like it did a few years back?
Nothing planned. We have a few AAPRCO sponsored events next year. Two in Chicago and one in Florida.
Why did they switch engines? Before it was AMTK 100 and 145. Nice catch though!
