448 (27) in Pittsfield

[P40Power]

Took a stop down at the Pittsfield Amshack today, Amtrak 448 came in not to bad today about a half an hour down, not bad considering yesterday it was well over eight hours late.

Consist:

P42 69

P42 55

Heritage Baggage in Phase IVb scheme, no red "Safety Stripe" on bottom

Viewliner - Shore View (fitting being on the Lake Shore Limited)

Amfleet II "Business Class" (Palmetto car?) in Phase IVb

Amfleet II CoachClass Phase IVb

Amfleet II Lounge - 28011 Phase IVb

Good looking train, nice to see an Amfleet II Lounge on the Boston Section, I personally havent seen one on these trains in about eight years! Two people got off in Pittsfield, train was on its way quickly. Train looked close to full like always.

That could've been the baggage Viewliner saw go out on the Three Rivers, now comming back to Boston.

Nope I didnt get the number, the number is too small to see easily when it rolled by, I also missed the numbers of the Amfleet II cars as well.

That could've been the baggage Viewliner saw go out on the Three Rivers, now comming back to Boston.

In all likelihood, it probably was. It would be sensible that the car got shifted in Chicago. I wish I could've seen the number.
