Amtrak Train #284, the "Mohawk," Arrival, Picture…

18 Jan 2010 473
Amtrak saved the day for me when I had to get my flight to Greece. The whole of the Northeastern U.S., with the exception of New York City and the Tri-State area, was inundated by blizzards, and the blizzards continued for days, so it was clear that my flight to Newark was going to be cancelled before I even got there. Amtrak, while late as usual, was also running as usual...in the blizzard, making the choice clear. Here Amtrak #707 works train #284, the "Mohawk," to NY Penn at Syracuse.

Here's a shot of Amtrak #166 (on the left), which is a G.E. Genesis P42 diesel, and an unidentified AEM7 (on the right), coupled to some Amfleet cars at Harrisburg. The sign in the foreground is, of course, the station sign, sporting the post-1999 Amtrak logo.

As our excursion pulled in, I got this lucky shot of 902 and 2398 lined up just right for this shot, which I quite like.

Here, back in order, this was where we picked up our Reading & Northern excursion train at the NRHS National Convention, led by a matching set of Reading EMD FP7s that had just been restored. Here's a shot of our train pulling in, headed by the FP7s, with a Reading and Northern freight on the adjacent track.

Unfortunately this shot failed to capture 2398's cab, but it does give one of the better views that I got of 3300 during the NRHS Convention, as it wasn't there for show and had to hurry on its way without being uncoupled for us to get a better look.

While we were waiting for our Reading & Northern excursion at West Leesport during the 1995 NRHS Convention, we also got to see this Reading & Northern freight, which at least had second generation diesel power on it, number 2398, a U23B and 3300, a U33C.
