That Amtrak train was one of the most ugly trains ever

I guess that was the "Three Rivers"?.
I rode it out of Chicago to DC in a
sleeper.Any idea when that was?
And no it is not ugly.

With all the M and E I agree, especially since it's Amtrak 42 or 43! They were a lot better before 97!

As the Amtrak train is headed westbound, it's not Train #42. It's not train #43 because it's destination was Pittsburgh and would not have had all of the M & E cars. Train 43 was not extended to Chicago until more than a year after the video was taken. Therefore, as noted above, it would have been 41, the Three Rivers.
