Heads up, California ! Date: 05/27/16 21:57 Re: Amtrak No.3(27) With Heritage Unit and Extra Cars Author: mundo My god, an extra unit on train 3, two on train 21, where do they obtain the units. Make another train or two, single locos for a week?

Considering who is aboard, not so crazy! Another soon-to-retire Amtrak president also finagled a Tehachapi ride... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/28/16 21:24 by GenePoon.

As I understand it that anytime the SWC exceeds 12 cars, BNSF requires that the train operates with 3 units. Probably because of Raton and Glorieta grades.
