So soon we forget how loud the F40's were when in run mode.

 I sure miss that.  Was always exciting to watch an F40 come into the station.

Look how long the first Amtrak was. Now that was a passenger train, not the cookie cutter crap we have today.
Great video, the whole series!

Good stuff, indeed. Whenever I think of Amtrak, I think of F40s, red-white-blue striped cars, and trains of respectable length like here.

Like I said in one of the other videos, I'm pretty sure the NS train was the outbound NRHS convention special from Asheville.
