Throwbacks on Thanksgiving.
Author: trainapproaching

Nice to see Amtrak joining the NFL in donning throwback uni's on Thanksgiving. This is Amtrak 156 leading the northbound Carolinian into Raleigh today. The photo is from the Boylan Ave. bridge. I was set up at the state fairgrounds but someone called the cops on me(probably the CSX signal maintainer I saw down the track). The officer asked me what I was up to and ran my ID. Oh well, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

If you were on public property,you should have stayed there.
On the other hand to me,you ran a greater risk shooting from the bridge.

Last car is a baggage car. Odd because it is usually on the front, the train is also running with one extra coach. At the fairgrounds I was standing in a gravel parking lot often used for flea markets and such. I just didnt feel like making a big deal. The bridge is such a popular hangout for fans I guess the railroad doesnt care because the officer suggested I head over there.

I wish they would run that unit on #3/4.
