Was trackside in Naperville, IL at 4:30 this afternoon when an Amtrak Acela locomotive and cars/train passed through, in tow (by Amtrak diesels). Really an attractive and impressive train - and this coming from a steam grouch! It was in tow as the locomotive is electric, with a pantograph peaking out from the roof line. Alas, no photos, as I discovered that my camera was out of juice. Hopefully other folks captured some images! It is heading to the Pueblo, CO RR testing grounds.
