Toledo puts on a really great setup. I wonder if the regular daily Amtraks used Track 3 since this equipment all appears to be parked on Track 1? Did anyone get any photos of the W&LE unit? Or inside the station in the upper level which is not usually open?

All equiptment was moved off of 1. WLE and NYC units went to 14, the Amtrak display went to 3, and the GLC went to the AA (I believe the WLE and GLC headed over there at the same time). The inside and upper levels of the station were open, with layouts and other displays in them. You could access the first and second platforms this year.

GLC 399 was moved last, 20 minutes after all the other equipment was moved.. Everyone left before then, me and a friend caught the GLC move. They had it go up to Ottawa Yard via the Chicago and Detroit lines, all by itself. Same as when it was moved down Thursday.

I was there from just before 9:30am until 3:30pm and found that my favorite engine was actually the Amtrak 517 as it was a type of locomotive I never seen before. The model trains was my gf's favorite part of the show. I ended up taking pics of trains on the mainline outside from the platform between tracks 2 and 3 with my iphone.Posed with most of the engines and bought me and the gf a shirt from the NARP. I'd post pics on here but don't know how to do that on my IPhone.if ya'll saw a young bearded guy that wore a hoodie that said " Truman" walking around or on the platform taking pics,that was me lol

I went to Toledo's 2014 NTD, and I had no trouble getting there. I took the bus there and back (I live in Toledo), and I took a lot of photos and videos. I'll post some pics here later.

The GLC sent down a low hood GP35 but no coaches.

Also supposed to be some MOW equiptment on display and other various things. Sounds like it's going to be a nice and larger set up this year.
