Passenger Trains > Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrowDate: 09/22/22 18:52 Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: twropr Reported 98 axles (usually has 52) by the detector at Herkimer, NY.
Wonder what the additional cars were? Andy Date: 09/22/22 19:31 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: RevRandy This is curious - it would imply 46 more axles. But that is not a number divisible by 4 so something has 2 more axles. PVs?

Date: 09/22/22 21:14 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: pdt 3 engines, 4 viewliners, 6 amfleet, baggage, 8 PV
Date: 09/23/22 03:14 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: joemvcnj Do some or all of the 8 PV's pay for the 3rd engine ?

Date: 09/23/22 07:22 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: RevRandy Well, this morning 29 is struggling with equipment issues at Kendallville, IN - almost dead in the water. 49 has caught up to it, run around it, and now 29 is inching along to couple to it. It will then be one VERY big train. Worth watching for at Elkhart.
Date: 09/23/22 08:26 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: MGA2300 Arrived at Elkhart IN at 11:15am EST, both trains combined, made two separate station stops. Per the VR cameras
Posted from iPhone Date: 09/23/22 08:30 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: RevRandy 3 stops - 49 coaches and Boston Sleeper; 49 NY sleepers; 29 all.
Totel 24 cars, 5 units Date: 09/23/22 10:21 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: JPB Amtrak has adopted PSR! ;-)
The combined Amtrak 49 plus 29 land barge arriving Elkhart at around 1115 Friday 9/23/22. Amtrak 29's two P42s were tied onto the last PV in the Amtrak 49 consist. It looks/sounds like Amtrak 29's 2nd P42 #85 is shoving but I'm not sure #55 is helping out - I'm guessing 29's engineer is coordinating with 49's engineer? Edited 2 time(s).

Date: 09/23/22 17:15 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: justalurker66 So how many varnish owners would be happy to see a two engine five car superliner set being pulled by their cars?
Date: 09/23/22 22:12 Re: Anyone who sees Lake Shore 49 tomorrow Author: POW Question was asked how many private car owners would like two engines + superliners coupled to their cars. AAPRCO trains in the past have had 30 PVs so this would not be all that concerning.
