Passenger Trains > New Train in a New Station

With approval to move forward now granted from the FRA, Amtrak has begun to put some mileage on the next-gen Acela sets that have been stored in Penn Coach Yard for what seems like an eternity. Set 10 was out and about several times this week and made a few round trips during daylight hours between Philadelphia and Havre de Grace, MD. I photographed it yesterday as it passed through the newly constructed Septa station in Claymont, DE. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of this now as the program really needs to move forward in a hurry.

Enjoy !

Your image looks very much like a oil painting.  The vivid colors really jump out.

Couldn't have said it better. The colors, etc. really pop out in this photo to make for a great capture. Good setup. 

Well done, image of the day for sure!

Like it!

Claiming station has certainly changed. For the better.

It’s so weird how the locomotive doesn’t match the sides of the coaches. Thought it was a train “set.” Shouldn’t it match?

It looks "GOOD" to me!  It's not exactly matching, but I think most observers would not notice!

Soon to be covered in dirt. It will be unnoticeable then.
