Amtrak is for the Birds

This is a photo from the usenet rail photogroup, Vlad Kedrovsky took it and gave me his permission to share it with this group. I thought it was pretty neat. Hope you do, too.

The birds are really there. Vlad says the grain cars on the freights drop some and the birds congregate to feast on it, until another train comes along.

The locomotives and cars look remarkably clean. This kind of train appearance works wonders for Amtrak's public image. (The birds work wonders too!)

I was on the Cap Ltd # 30one time and we were rounding the curve entering Pittsburgh from the West and about 200 birds flew up up and away !!!
