Train Attendant
You may remember a few weeks ago I posted when there were a lot of new trains in the ABQ yard, including the SW Chief, a special Amtrak train, and many Grand Luxe passenger coaches being hauled by Amtrak locomotives.
The Grand Luxe coaches are back today, being hauled by 3 Amtrak locomotives. I am not 100% sure on this next part, because the bus I was on went by so fast...but there may have been a 'stray' 4th Amtrak locomotive in a different part of the yard (I don't mean the extra one that is always here), it appeared it was being refueled.
Regardless of that part...I think I counted 21 passenger cars, split between 2 tracks. I don't think I have ever heard of a passenger train that long. Is it unusual to have a train of that size?
