Agree with the paint on the lead unit. Date: 05/30/16 11:46 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: wpjones Ya Know I'm always sayin the UP's newest power car is the ugliest car out there. Well I keep forgetting the 10001 which is the ugliest passenger car out there. They should have bought and kept Kratvilles car. It was a real Bussiness car.
Steve Date: 05/30/16 11:48 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: TheInstigator I think the 10001 is an inspection car/test car so not really a true business car . Nice to see the UP's Shoshone out recently .... Now that is one solid old business car.

Cheers Charlie MP52.8 on the BNSF Topeka Sub Date: 05/30/16 17:14 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: TheInstigator Modesto tonight then Sacramento
Date: 05/30/16 23:28 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: crossbucks This train is for Joseph Boardman who may or may not be on it right now coming out to Sac for the delivery of the final ASC64 at the Siemens plant later this week or early next week.

Date: 05/31/16 10:28 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: mundo That window is for inspection of the overhead wires. Keep in mind, this is an inspection car, not a typical business car. It has sleeping facilites for inspectors or in this case the President of Amtrak.

I think the viewliner was a sleeper too Date: 06/01/16 06:14 Re: Amtrak special out of Los Angeles this morning Author: 55002 Very trying conditions, Andy. At least the front end stands out. Interesting conversion of the rear car. Chris UK.
