Amtrak's 40th Anniversary Train

[Steveo241]

Amtrak 822 (P42) and Amtrak 406 (F40PH [Cabbage]) have been touring the USA as most of the American Trainz Community probably knows.

I had the pleasure of shooting it, and a few other units commemorating Amtrak's 40th Anniversary in Chicago today:

Amtrak 822, with a friend of mine planking in front of it

Amtrak 406 and 156 on display.

Amtrak 25 leading the Southwest Chief westbound, and Amtrak 184 catching us off guard heading into Union Station.

If you haven't seen it already, and want to, there's information on where it's going to be at http://amtrak40th.com/.

Thank you for sharing this.

At least your station has clean platforms. If I were your friend, I would never do that in Boston with bum pee, spit, and chewing gum all over the place!

Anyone else think that they should paint all their stock in the scheme on 822?

Not at all

I saw the Museum train in Richmond. Unfortunently,it doesn't tour the U.S. anymore. Now, it's stationed in Philadelphia.
