Passenger Trains > Cardinal #50 last ThursdayDate: 08/12/18 08:30 Cardinal #50 last Thursday Author: P NW Indiana does not get a lot of love from photogrpahers on the route of the Cardinal.
Here is my attempt last Thursday evening under stormy skies at Parr, IN. Besides a smattering of houses, this ADM facility is about all that exists in Parr. Date: 08/12/18 12:21 Re: Cardinal #50 last Thursday Author: Tominde Why is sleeper behind baggage car? Or is it a deadhead?

Just another move by Mr. Anderson to keep passengers out of the dining car! Date: 08/12/18 15:15 Re: Cardinal #50 last Thursday Author: jp1822 calumet Wrote:

If going to Beech Grove, it must be scheduled for some heavy duty maintenance/repair. This could not be one of the sleepers that was involved in the CSX wreck right? Or it could be cycling off the Lake Shore to be shipped down to Hialeah for routine maintenance since Amtrak can't get the Lake Shore in/out of Sunnyside Yard for the trade-off to a Florida bound train. Appears the Cardinal and linkage to the Silver Star or Meteor may be the only means at present. Anyone spot the train beyond Indy and perhaps into Washington DC area? Just curious......

Maybe it was #50 on Tuesday?

'Last Thursday' has become vague over time. This was #50 on 8/2/18. Date: 08/13/18 04:16 Re: Cardinal #50 last Thursday Author: Contax645 Thank you for posting. I haven't been to Parr in years. I need to take a ride.
