Passenger Trains > NYC "Hickory Creek" on October 6th

On October 6th, Amtrak train 69, the Montreal bound Adirondack, had former New York Central observation car "Hickory Creek" on the end of it.  The car is currently owned by the URHS and is housed at their yard in Boonton, NJ.  I saw the car while boarding at New York Penn Station, but due to the number of people boarding there (sold out train south of Albany) and wanting to get a window seat, I just boarded.  However, during the engine change at Albany, I got some photos of the car on its home rails.

My station stop was Port Henry, NY, so I photographed the observation car as the train was departing.
