Can you get money out of an ATMrak?
Nice shots as always Keith. Good luck this weekend getting the QJs in Iowa.
It was a great trip seeing the 261. Man those digital camera sure do make nice days out of what were not such nice days! In a week when my slides get back I'll know whether I had a good time or not -- and if I got shots of our friend in the Budd RDC.

I know that there was talk about the misspelled Amtrak units awhile ago. So I did some checking and here is a link to a photo of #53 in service with the "Atmrak" on the side.

Maybe they should retrofit P42's with spell checker.
Nice shots, Keith

If I would have know I would have definitely come up and said "Hello". I guess maybe we need to get some of the "TRAINS" forums T-shirts they are selling to help with ID'ing people.
I took quite a few pictures down at the museum while the train was being put together. There is a good chance you might be in more of them. Also speaking of the "piece of junk" Amtrak unit. #53 happens to be the unit that I believe at one time left the shops with "Amtrak" spelled wrong. I think I remember when it originally happened. I think there are some shots of the #53 in service with Amtrak spelled wrong. Usually the Amtrak Unit behind #261 breaks down, I believe #261 has taken out 3 Genesis units.
Notice the orignal spelling of "Amtrak" on the side.
Very nice photos.
