A Friday FL9, complete with Full, Flaming Foliage
Author: march_hare

It's fall foliage season: late October, 1987. An afternoon Empire Service train ducks under the Bear Mountain Bridge and the short tunnels nearby on its way to New York.

Very nice shot. Uncommon (at least for me) to see an FL9 in Amtrak paint, and particularly at that very scenic location. Well done - thanks.

FL9s were regular everyday power from NYC to Albany for most of the 1980s. They seldom ventured west or north of Albany, but it did happen occasionally.
