Nostalgia & History > Water Level Wednesday: A demonstration run

It's a gorgeous May day at CP365  in the eastern suburbs of Rochester, NY.  (1991, I think--I don't have the slide handy to check).

The Swedish-built X2000 is on a barnstorming tour of upstate NY, which started at the ABB plant in Elmira Heights, then west to Buffalo, and now eastbound for Albany.  No catenary here, so a pair of specially painted Rohr Turboliner power cars are pushing the train along.

In the background, Conrail's low-priority BUSE is completing a set out, and will drudge along behind the passenger special once it passes.

Great piece of history.

Rode it under catenary from DC to Baltimore. Nice train.
