Spotted at Belt Jct |
| Description: |
We've been spotted by some folks in the rear of Amtrak's "American View" inspection car as Sunset Limited #2 rolls eastward through Belt Jct (technically South Belt Jct, CP H830) on its way to New Orleans. This edition of Train #2 happened to have four locomotives and a string of executive cars on the rear as former Amtrak CEO Joe Boardman made his "Farewell Tour" of the Amtrak system. The gentleman in the yellow was a very friendly member of Amtrak's police force who I had gotten to speak too a little at the Houston Amtrak station about 30 minutes prior. |
