I usually pull into my office parking lot by 8AM every morning. (which is next to the NEC in Newark, NJ) Most mornings I happen to time it perfectly to see the northbound Clocker. This train usually consists of anywhere from 10 to 12 Amfleet I coaches pulled by an ALP-46.
However, over the past week or so this train now has one Amfleet I Food Service Car and this morning also had two Amfleet II Coaches in it's consist.
What could Amtrak's Equipment Utilization Group be thinking to actually include Amfleet II's as part of the Clockers? Food Service I can comprehend, but Amfleet II? Those cars could be used in a much more efficient manner and on much better trains.
Thoughts, ideas?
