New cars
Title:  New cars
Description:  Every so often, Amtrak updates its equipment. Since I dont live near any Amtrak lines-Im about equal distance from Little Rock and Kansas City-I dont get to see the "new" stuff often. That, and my 64 year old mind still thinks of Amfleet, and even Heritage cars. So seeing the cars now running on Amtrak midwest is a treat. This car was on train 305 at Springfield.
