This seems to be a strange consist for the LSL.  Usually the Boston sleeper is right after the baggage car followed by two coaches and the lounge car.  Then the New York section has 4 coaches, the diner, 2 sleepers and another baggage car.  This version of the train seems to be made up like there is no Boston section.  Was this just a fluke or have they changed the way they make up the train in Albany?  Or maybe it was during the suspension of the New York section during the track work at Penn. Station and this whole consist ran from Boston?  In any event it looks much nicer than it usualy does.

We have had our disagreements are a variety of issues, but you do come up with some great videos.  Maybe we should pay you a commission for finding them. Add Quote to

Thanks, I don't know what they did but someone at work setup Youtube and Google to deliver a variety of rail videos to me each time I sign in.   So the searching was setup to be automatic.    They did something in the google configuration because I had to log into Google and I am not sure what they did to youtube.

Noticed the B&O style CPL dwarf once under the cover of the building.

It is generally difficult to see the actual signal indications on cab ride videos.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

I'll second that.  You share an interest many of us have in the Golden Era and some pet railroads.  Great video.
