5+ Hours Late Amtrak 48 Flys Past Camera at 79MPH In Mentor Ohio
Author: cornerfieldhobby

I saw on facebook yesterday morning that 48 was running 5+ hours late. So I decided to drive up to Mentor by Deekers to get him. Anyway, he was doing 79MPH track speed. So this was a thrill. I just forgot how fast 79 looks passing me in person because as you can see in photo 2, a quarter of the front of the nose of the engine was cut out. My camera took the first photo and I had to refocus and from the time from the first photo to passing me was about 3 seconds.

Luckily my video camera has a photo video capture feature. It may not be best quality, but it's ok.
