Neat.  Thank you for sharing this.  Is the Amtrak Amfleet II coach used as a crew caboose?

I would expect that the "Caritas" has lost it San Luis & Rio Grande #1 number by now.

I'm riding the AAPRCO special and we were told that the Amfleet coach was added so that move from Miami to Sebring would be considered a passenger train rather than a light engine move. Apparently slightly higher speed limits.

Locomotives are more stable as they go down the tracks when they are hauling a car, as they are designed to do.

Congratulations on VOTD! Very nice location and good looking train!
