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.

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.

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.

SEED-08
Title:  SEED-08
Description:  SEED arrives at E. Deerfield on track 1 having cut away from its consist. Track 2, the main is on the left. Far left is the loop from the Conn River main. Until 1983, there was a connection to the now abandoned Turners Falls Branch an ex-NH branch of the former Farmington Canal Line just beyond the loop switch between it and the signal for CPF-384. At one time, both tracks 1 & 2 were considered main line tracks. Now track 1 is considered the Greenfield Industrial here and the Montague Industrial from CPF-381 across the Conn River into E Deerfield Yard. Track 1 is mostly used for classification by yard jobs. In 2019, the train is now more accurately called RJED as SEED's counterpart has been called EDRJ in 2003 and now in 2019. 353 and third in consist 351 are still wearing the Guilford scheme and are in service. Fourth in the consist SD26 619 would be retired and scrapped three months later after a wreck. Second unit 371 is still in service and in March, 2019 is one of only two that is lead capable.
