Trying to see how many passenger trains I can run at one time on my single loop of track. The facts so far.
5 Amtrak locomotives~ 4 freight locomotives~ 31 freight cars~2 caboose~21 passenger cars~2 mail cars~ 1 loop of track at 300 feet~ four180 bricks~4 power districts~ 1 TIU and 1 remote~ track speed 45 smph. grade 2% 32 feet long. Still have 10 more passenger cars to add. Tomorrow I think I will do an Amtrak day !!

Love it! Great looking trains.
What make are the Superliner cars?
Awesome!!! Bring on more Amtrak!
Surely looks like it was the end of steam. 
Good morning
Joe ......Super liners are K-Line I purchased this fall at York
GRJ.........With all those lights ,I can't even use the smoke set to minimum.
BIGTRUCKPETE.........I going to try adding 10 more Atlas CZ cars today with two locomotives, I'll park the freights.
Super nice layout Clem! I don't know what to look at first!
Great job Clem 
can't wait to get back up there !! with more Amtrak ! 
an all AMTRAK day sounds good 
I'll bring a rainbow train to go behind the E units...
Nice Clem...maxing out those transformers
looks great Clem!
pretty cool !! looks good Clem !! moving a lot of holiday travelers....
I didn't see your blue Surfliner engine....
your right Brian I forgot, that one is still on the wall display. Never did run it yet,should probably just sell it.
Clem
Buy? Buy? Buy!
How much????? Wanna trade??? I gotta have da diesels....
Hi Clem
Nice videos
The layout looks fantastic
Alex
Great video Clem, Thanks for sharing. Guess I am going to have to get more Amtrak cars down the road!
Nice trains on a neat layout!
Wow, a very nice version of what Stan Roy was running in the old TM videos.
Well done Clem!
Thank you everyone ... In that video all the Amtrak have different numbers or names, there is 20 different Atlas CZ cars. I don't think any others where made for 3 rail ? The Atlas Horizon cars I have one to many diners, I would like to trade for a coach. I couldn't find the Horizon cars in a different paint scheme.
Thanks Paul..... I'm suppose to be adding to the last unfinished area, just been to lazy.
WILLYGEE...... All those lights really hurt, the Super Liners are really hungry.
RSJB18.......thank you, going to add a narrow gauge in there.
BRIANSILVERMUSTANG.......You have to get back up here and take more video's.
ENGINEER-JOE........Have I got a deal for you
Alex........Thanks for the kind words, I have a couple of your structures on there.
MIKE-G.......Thanks! well I enjoy my Amtrak, I usually go on 2 train trips a year, this year only one so far,my injury's slowed me down a bit.
PENNSYNUT......... Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.
TONKANUT.........Thanks could have made it better but me and computers don't get along
Thanks again
Clem
That is a deal! I just got a lecture when another delivery of track for outside showed up this week. I have to lay low!

Hopefully he is brushing up on his knowledge of Diesel Spotting with K-bach's Diesel Spotter Guide!
On Another thread your "Leader" seems to have a "memory lapse" of what the difference is between an Erie Built and a C-liner...

Makes ME wonder 
if he also is affected between:
I have now found my favorite thread. I love Amtrak and it's great to see someone with the collection I aim to have. I started with the now-rare Railking RTR Surfliner set (have all 6 cars) and I've managed to snag 2 of the original Phase V P42s and a K-Line sleeper. Man those K-Line cars are expensive. If only they made a Sightseer Lounge I could have a prototypical Coast Starlight set. Guess I'll just have to sub in another diner which isn't that unrealistic (seen it before).
A beautiful collection you have there. Thank you for sharing this.
I would advise keeping that Surfliner loco and hunting down all 6 of the K-Line California cars which are gorgeous and the only scale California cars made in O-Scale ever. The cabcar is awesome.

The Superliners will go from anywhere between 150-300 a car, IF you can find them.

- differences of an EMD F series units and E series units and/or
- GE C40-8 and C40-9, C40-9W, C44-9W , B40-8, and B32-8
- EMD SD60M, SD60MAC, SD70M, SdD70MAC, SD70M-2, SD70ACE,SD80, SD90/43 and SD90's
- ALCo C424,and C628, and C630, and C636
