Bringing up the Rear
Title:  Bringing up the Rear
Description:  Back at this time, Amtrak was in its final days of having road railers and reefers on their trains. While I didn't like how the consists looked with them, it was nice to document them.

MMA 148
Title:  MMA 148
Description:  The former Montreal, Maine & Atlantic had some rolling stock of its own. The RR went out of business in 2014 after a 2013 derailment that occurred. It was nice seeing this car this day!

TWILIGHT SHORELINER DECAL
Title:  TWILIGHT SHORELINER DECAL
Description:  Stopped at Schenectady. This car was once used on Amtrak, the overnight #66/67 on the NE Corridor. It had a special decal showcasing the train's name. The decal is above the stripes next to the door. After 2004, sleepers were removed from that train.

SPERRY TRUCK
Title:  SPERRY TRUCK
Description:  The Sperry Truck makes an inspection of the Chicago Line at Amsterdam station. This scene has changed significantly with the removal of the telegraph lines in late 2007 and the signal bridge being removed in 2011 and replacd by Safetran ground masts. The detector now says CSX MP 177.4 instead of Conrail, Guy Park, NY.

#64-14, the Maple Leaf
Title:  #64-14, the Maple Leaf
Description:  The Maple Leaf arrives at Amsterdam station. Since this was taken, 707 has received the Empire Phase III scheme, its numberboard has been replaced by a nose hatch, and only a few months later the Penn Central era "Amsterdam" on the building was replaced with an Amtrak one. Also these telegraph lines have been removed.

Q285-14
Title:  Q285-14
Description:  Q285 westbound at AUTO-177. These signals were replaced in 2011 after Hurricane Irene and its flooding. Several of CSX's SD70MAC's have since been retired or stored. A classic shot of what Amsterdam used to look like.

AMTK 700
Title:  AMTK 700
Description:  700 & 823 shove a mail car north for tonight's Lake Shore Ltd. 700 was repainted in 2004 Phase Vb and then in 2017 into the Empire Phase III paint. This Phase III paint scheme was sharp. 700 also has a nose hatch now that was cut in during 2020. It required the removal of the nose numberboard. This unit and 711 were the only units I am aware of that returned from Beech Grove with the numberboard intact. The hatches were cut in because Amtrak was operating into Grand Central for a time and with the narrow tunnels, MN has nose hatches on their own units. So Amtrak began to cut hatches in over time. 700 was the final holdout and now all 18 units have been refitted.

AMTK 700
Title:  AMTK 700
Description:  700 and another unit are switching mail cars. 700 looks sharp! 700 was repainted in 2004 to Phase Vb and again in 2017 into the Empire Phase III. The platform used to come all the way up under Broadway. When the new station opened in 2003, the new high level platforms replaced these ground level platforms and the current station was located to the south of here. The Rensselaer shops are in the background.

Title:  #68-24, The Adirondack
Description:  #68 idles at Rensselaer. Since this was taken, the old station was closed and torn down replaced by high level platforms and a new station building. 710 was also repainted into Phase Vb in the coming year. It was repainted into the Phase III Empire paint in 2017. It also now has nose hatch that has replaced the nose numberboard.

Two Eras
Title:  Two Eras
Description:  The paint schemes here were not original to these units. Amtrak's Phase I was on E's, F's, SDP40F's and some others. The 77 originally wore the McGinnis blue, white & black while this scheme was upon the GP7's. It was nice that PAN AM & AMTRAK resurrected these paint schemes! The Vermonter heads south to New Haven, Conn.
