Eastern Railroad Discussion > America's Train and more!

Yesterday I stopped by Port Clinton on the way home, and was treated to a little bit of action.

First up was "America's Trains" the North Reading Fast Freight with SD40-2 #3051 leading.
Next is a shot of former NS GP38-2 #2013, I believe the only former NS "admiral cab" engine in a different paint scheme other than NS.
A little while later, the "Roustabout" stopped by the office for a bit before heading off to Cressona.

Nice photos.

From where did the "America's Train" designation come?

A joke amongst some friends and I since it is a heavily sought after train.

Kind of like the Dallas Cowboys being called "America's Team" ;-p

Great series and photos.
