PASSING TRAINS PT37

An unscheduled Amtrak trains rolls through Hilldale during the early 90's...

The lead locomotive, updated with ditch lights and rooftop a/c, rolls under the bridge.

Into the yard she rolls.

With four units on the head end, this is obviously a power balancing move.

There are a half-dozen MCH's on the head end as well; either this train is carrying ALOT of merchandise or the equipment is also being moved around for balancing purposes.

A string of Superliners follows.

A lone Amfleet car is tacked onto the end.

The train heads west for Wheeling, West Va., then onto Chicago, where the equipment will be placed into various train assignments. The Superliners will probably either head to the West Coast or south to New Orleans; until the late 90's low clearances in the east kept most of the double-decked Superliners out west.
