Ohio River and other cars were on a special Amtrak train from Steamtown to Sunnyside via the ex-DL&W and D&H that departed Scranton about 8:00 a.m. Labor Day, Monday 9/7/9. Beyond Albany, the cars were hauled by regular Amtrak train 64.

Business car "Ohio River", probably accompanied by Amtrak's weekend Steamtown exhibit, was moved from Sunnyside to Rensselaer on Wed. 9/2. It continued to Scranton, Pa. via CPRS (ex-D&H & DL&W) as a special train Fri. 9/4. The return trip from Steamtown was 8:00 a.m. Mon. 9/7.
