9800 was crew only (and family presumably). I was permitted to have a look around at the end of the ride.
Train changes direction only twice: once after exiting the NEC after HUNTER, and once in Selkirk. I sat in what was the rear cafe at the start of the trip the entire time. There was enough space in the end adjacent to 9800 to switch sides at Selkirk, so we had a river view the whole way.
I note that Amtrak never calls this a foliage train. In the last two years, it really hasn’t been. Still a nice ride.
There was a freight train blocking the view on the right side of the bridge by Port Newark. Left side had a good view there.
This trip went a lot more smoothly this year than last as far as keeping the train moving. I also don’t think we left anyone at the photo stop this time.
Say, anyone know how car 82660 got so much exterior roof damage?
