If they damaged the side of those brand new Viewliners, I hope they're sitting down when they get the bill.

The good news is the train was only crawling at this spot as the station is just 100 yards down the track.

Unless they happened to have one of the new V-IIs deadheading down to NOL, all the train had were the older V-Is.

[EDIT] Just confirmed that it didn't, standard Amcans, Heritage Diner, Viewliner Sleepers and Heritage Baggage.

Thanks for the correction, Matt. Just shows to go you. I shouldn't jump to contusions re. eqpt. that I never regularly worked on.

Meh, if you put it in retrospect to the age of the heritage baggage cars, even the V-I's are pretty new. Or, even when compared to the original Amfleets, I guess that they are newer?

It looks like the car backed into the train! :giggle:
