Amtrak Engine Switch on the Cardinal in Washington, DC




Title:
Amtrak Engine Switch on the Cardinal in Washington, DC

Description:
After a quick sprint down the NEC from Philadelphia to Washington, the HHP-8 was removed an Genesis #142 was attached to carry the train to Chicago. Unfortunately, they took the HHP-8 off so quickly that I was still in line to get off the train when they removed it. I did get a shot of the Genesis backing in to place, though.
