Passenger Trains > 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15)Date: 07/16/13 10:11 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15) Author: RevRandy by Utica about 13 minutes down ( trailing a very late 284 by about 15 minutes) with full dome on the rear (DH).

------------------------------------------------------- > Little early for autumn on the Adirondack. That's true. So where is Amtrak planning to run the Dome car? It would be great if it could run earlier on the Adirondack or even the Vermonter (north of New Haven) etc. Date: 07/16/13 10:58 Re: 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15) Author: andersonb109 It would also be great if they had included it in the consist of the Lake Shore so passengers could enjoy instead of tucked in deadhead behind the baggage car...empty.

Date: 07/16/13 11:29 Re: 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15) Author: RevRandy Given the temperatures (into CSX heat speed restrictions) I suspect the dome could end up a wee bit hot even with A/C on totally today. Probably better where it is, not only for switching but in terms of passenger comfort.
Date: 07/16/13 12:58 Re: 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15) Author: Jishnu Given that it is on 48/448 and not on 30, it strongly suggests that it will operate on something out of ALB.
A tad bit early for Labor Day related trip down to Steamtown or such. A summer turn on the Vermonter for a while? Or up into Maine? Date: 07/16/13 13:20 Re: 10031 Ocean View on 48/448 (15) Author: amtrakbill Might get to Steamtown in Scranton for railfest over Labor Day weekend
