Had a fun time at ye olde model trayn club with some of the guys Thursday last.
This is what we got up to:

I was thinking about the year Amtrak came on line, 1976. A year later I was on
the "Montrealer" which originated in D.C., ran the length of Vermont, and terminated
in Montreal, which is where I got off and traveled west to work that summer on a
beef ranch in Ontario. I believe the head end power for my trip was a FP40H.
I was thinking maybe railroads had to patch together whatever head end power they
had on hand, so me and the guys did.

Nice train action, Chops! That Amtrak switcher was really neat!
