Electroliner 1935 Nice photos Harrison! Thanks for the post. But what can you tell me about your photo,"Mega-Amtrak in Plattsburgh, June." Was it two trains with one being deadheaded or was the locomotive dead in tow?

The previous day's southbound from Montreal was canceled because the engine died, so the previous day's northbound when up with two engines to pull the dead trainset back down. So there were two working engines in the front, and the one midtrain was dead. Video here:

The mega-train is at 10:33.

Dang son, it's not easy to take contemporary "see-it-every-day-so-what's-the-big-deal" railroading and make it interesting, but you just hit it out of the park with those shots!
Well done! And thanks for posting!
Nice shots, man.
