Reply to "Midweek Photos 11/20/2019"

At this time last year, it was the start of Thanksgiving Break. To travel home to Pittsburgh, I opted to take the 5:00 train to Washington, D.C, which allowed me to take these snapshots of some of the power and cars laying around. I previously posted some of these over on "A Shot in the Dark."

3 ACS-64s lay over adjacent to one of D.C.'s two through tracks. Besides my Northeast Regional, there was likely at least one long-distance train scheduled to arrive later that evening.

An Amfleet and Heritage dormitory (likely part of the Exhibit Train consist) are semi-permanently parked in the station.

Now for an even older flashback: in 2018, I had the opportunity to ride the Cascades Talgo from Vancouver, B.C. to Seattle. Here, nearly new SC-44 Chargers bracket the NPCU cabbage wrapped for the Seattle Seahawks. As of today, the wrap has been gone for 6 months.

The power for my Cascades was F59PHI 466, which I believe is one of the 21 retired last year and re-leased to Metra.
