It will run Chicago Boston. There is no GCT/Albany portion of the train, you want to travel to Albany and catch the LSL it will be on a local train same if going in reverse. CSX hammers the train out west you dont make Albany in time to catch 64 I think your going to have a nice stay in the Albany station until the first one down in the AM.

Westbound they would likely use track 3 where they can refuel anywhere along the platform. The P42s always ran through BOS-CHI, so for Boston leg customers this will be business as usual.Railjunkie wrote:.

Secondly anyone, have there been any sightings of V-IID's in Lake Shore consists? Once again, they have had nineteen cars on the property for now a month (six more to go); that should be enough to cover 19-20,87-88,448-449 and spares at all five end points (+ two more soaking up the sun at HIA).

This may be the first time I have ever seen a diner, VII or otherwise, anywhere north of NYP.Too bad you can't have a dinner in it!
