Amtrak 156, Phase I Heritage, On First Long Distance Run         
The Phase 1 Heritage 156, on its 1st long distance run since being released from Beech Grove on 3-16-2011, backs up towards the Amtrak Rensselaer maintenance facility with the lead 2 coaches off the Lake Shore Limited-P04818. Trail units are P42DC 169 and 140. This was the Lake Shore power from Chicago to Albany. The end of the NYC section, powered by a single dual mode GE added at Albany, sits in the foreground. The Boston section of 48 (448) was cancelled again on 3-18-2011 due to a washout on the Post Road Branch which connects the station to the CSX line from Selkirk to Boston. Viewliners 62040 and 62004 are in the foreground. A third Viewliner, 62047, and Diner 8559 are out of view in the foreground. Time is 15:43. Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak Station
