Let's take Amtrak!

---

 When I heard that I only had an hour to get down to the tracks in time to catch the Silver Star, I postponed breakfast and even my morning coffee to slam out of the house. I arrived with more than enough time to set up my shot and catch this charming little fast jewel. 

 Enjoy three minutes of fast moving passenger train bliss as CSX 308, an AC44CW, steps in to pinch hit for ailing Amtrak 19, a P42DC. Great horn show, too. Three minutes well spent! 

 It's always an outstanding train day when I can catch Amtrak running through Columbia during daylight hours. It's an even better train day when Amtrak has some private varnish on the rear. On this particular day, it was the former Chesapeake & Ohio business car #3, the "Chapel Hill." As is often the case with Amtrak, I also got a horn salute.  At this point, 92 has only begun to decelerate from track speed for her station stop, so this train is moving fast. The entire video is just over two minutes long. 

 It's nice to catch Amtrak 92, the northbound Silver Star, in daylight, although I'm sure that the passengers on board probably weren't too thrilled about it. It's still moving fast as it makes its approach into the station in Columbia!  The entire video is less than two minutes long. Thank you for watching!
