That's a great photo and I just saved it.
I have done graphics work and model consulting for 3rd Rail for 7 years. I have built a library of graphics for that company as well for myself. Amtrak is the "Helvetica" font. The other graphics I developed off of photos in 2010. I work in AutoCAD and Photoshop.
