Edison, New Jersey.

Don't think it's the Pennsylvanian unless it grew to 8 cars recently?

Nice shot!

It's 8 cars long with a baggage car and all Amfleet I's with business class behind the Amfleet I cafe car, which is also towards the rear. Too long to be the Pennsylvanian and its also missing Amfleet II coaches. Being that the Palmetto and Pennsylvanian share equipment, it's not the Palmetto either. I believe it's the Carolinian...... They may take off some of the front Amfleet I's at Washington DC during the engine change....

When this train passed Edison, N.J. at 11:25 AM, the "Carolinian" would be in Alexandria, Virginia.

Very true - missed the time of the photo. Sorry! Seems odd to be the Pennsylvanian though! Was there recent changes to the equipment lineup for the Pennsylvanian?
