Woo woo

On the Amtrak down for (e:terry)'s work event.

I don't love having to eat to the station at 7 but I prefer it so much more over flying.

Only a couple of years until the Amtrak Airos are on the Empire Service. Besides the trains being new, the big change will be that the locomotive will now be push-pull and dual mode power (diesel and third rail electric), with battery power.

This will mean the train can turn around fast at the end of the line and no more layover in Albany to swap the diesel for a different dual power locomotive. Hopefully that will mean more service and slightly shorter trips along the line.
