Nice pic. It's good to see a amtrak engine shine. I do have a couple questions. This is not NS but, what was that 3rd engine? This may be a NS question, where can I find a schedule for the train? I'm wondering when it will come down south, like to Alabama.

The third unit in the consist is the satelite car. It was converted from one of the cabbage F40's with two satelite domes. I didn't get any good shots of it but here is a link...

As for the schedule, the train is done now. It finished up at Washington D.C. this morning, although I think that some of the equipment deadheaded to Philly.
