Dark clouds dominate the sky on a rainy Labor Day in Upstate NY, as the Amtrak 40th Anniversary Train, running as CP 01A-05, rolls NB on the Canadian Pacific Freight Subdivision, Gage Rd., MP 500.74 with ALL THREE Phase III Heritage locomotives. The roundtrip from Albany to Scranton represents the first time these 3 units have been paired up. This location is a few miles from the big washout caused by Hurricane Irene that forced this train to detour over NYSW on 9-2. |
