SLRG 551 |
| Description: |
Iowa Pacific's full dome car "Sky View" was among the private car visitors this year. Iowa Pacific is a shortline operator, operating lines such as the San Luis & Rio Grande and the Saratoga & North Creek. A more recent venture has been a proposal for a Pullman like service in private cars tacked to the back of Amtrak trains operating north out of New York City. |

AMTK 406 |
| Description: |
While not as vintage as some of the other units running around the property this weekend, Amtrak 406 is still a cab unit. Built in 1988 for hauling long passenger trains across the US, it was restored to Phase III paint and converted to an NPCU for display with the Amtrak 40th Anniversary train in 2011. It now sees service on the Amtrak Exhibit Train as well as the occasional stint in revenue passenger service on Amtrak trains requiring an NPCU on one end. This weekend it was also one of two Amtrak F40s to appear in this image in the same yard. |
