48 cars, that's an impressive Amtrak train! A very neat look into one of the more unique Amtrak operations.
SWEET VIDEO! Wow that train had so much variety back then...TWO full-length dome cars! Amtrak only has one of those on their roster today. 5*****
What a mixed bag of coaches...I love it!
that is so awesome (and looooong train)it is nice to see the old P40's(8-40BP) in the long gone GE interpretation of the phase lll paint,
SuperLiners or AmFleet cars... Didn't really matter to me as long as I didn't have to drive from Lorton to Sanford. It was the most relaxing 16 hour ride I've ever had, and I'd do it again! *grin*
@TrainDr101: I must correct my own comment. The dome diner is the ex-Milwaukee dome mixed w/ the sleepers. The coach passengers used the kitchen car, buffet car, & table car that were next to the full dome lounge. When the train was converted to superliner 2's, the configuration stayed the same- sleepers had & coaches had their own dining & lounge cars.
This is the auto train that I remember most.
Discovered that in the fall it IS used on the Adirondack, but from what I'm told it only operates between Albany and Montreal.
Wow nice Phase III Action!
@ultragor Auto Train got Superliner II sleepers and a "first class" diner in 1994 or 1995. It ran those with Amfleet II coaches and Heritage buffets and domes until 1996.
I do like them Auto Trains .. must say
The Super Dome next to the Diners is a Dome-Diner for 1st class passengers.
0:36 says 811 and 832 are in the lead. Huge 6" numbers on the side.
yeah today the dome car is only used in the fall on the Adirondack from new york to Montreal Quebec Canada
Awesome! 5***** Footage!
Dome history:
9312 - ex-Milwaukee Road 56
9475 - ex-GN 1335
9371 - ex-SP 3602
*Note* I do not know if those numbers are the ones in the train, I just tryed to make out the number the best I can.
Yes, absolutely sure this was filmed in 1994.
@Neno8403 THANK YOU!!!
wow i thought these "genisis" locos got retired but i guess they just got repainted hard to tell when they zip past at 60mph
Are you sure this was filmed in 1994? I thought Auto Train had all Superliner cars by that time.
I think at this time(year) and by the road numbers 811 & 832 these are actually P-40DC's....
im so speechless
Look it up. 811 & 832 are P40DC's.
Amtrak had so many domes! what happened to them all. :(
Didn't they have superliner survace by this time on the auto train?
Is it really? Last I heard it was in California. I know for a fact it cannot fit under the wire in Penn Station without a deactivation.
That is not a Dash 8-40B... It's a GE P42.
phase 3 wow that needs a repaint
too bad amtrak only has one of those dome cars in regular service today
good think amtrak switched to superliners
also its a p40 or amd103 duhhhhhhhhhhh
they got sold to njt
