Following Anniversary Engine #145

[Thirdrail7]

145 led Amtrak #6(06) through Agency, Iowa yesterday. On the end of the train was a heritage baggage car. This is the baggage car that was part of the move of the Siemens Chargers from Denver to the test track at Pueblo.

You should be seeing that baggage car again tomorrow plus the four MARC cars.

Hopefully, the wheels are round again! :giggle:

First time I've seen locomotives running back-to-back on the CZ in a long time. Good catch, Agent!

It's been quite a while, so I'm wondering: is 145 still out on the rails?

 

[Railroad Bill]

Amtrak 145 was involved in an accident and was last reported at Beech Grove for repairs back in Sept 2018.  Since it does not have any current report, it may still be there.

It was the incident that involved congress being on a train to Greenbriar.
