On June 3rd 2021, Amtrak's Pennsylvanian had one of the Department of Transportation's inspection cars tacked onto the end for its run west to Pittsburgh. I had hoped to catch the train heading west into the strong setting sun, but alas, Amtrak ran late again and foiled those plans. As was custom, though, I stuck around after Amtrak, and was rewarded with a meet between what I believe were the Union Railroad's 76 and 10 crews, the former with a three-unit set of SWs and slabs, the latter with 5 units and a string of coke and other interchange cars. In short, a night for strobes: the safety lights on the FRA's converted Metroliner, and the remote control lights on the Union's switchers.
