Awesome picture, actually getting the whole train in the shot.
Maybe you could post in the Nostalgia & History Discussion section
for more views.

Pretty large train. Thanks for sharing a memory of what were some of the most impressive trains Amtrak operated.

Amtrak started out so strong with trying to capture the Florida market (from the Northeast AND the Midwest). With just two trains traversing the state today, a far cry from what was.......

True for trains on the ex-ACL, but this train ran on the ex-SAL and did not serve Rocky Mount or Florence.
