Solid night in Jackson- NS, Amtrak, and 300/301

Unread post by Ypsi »

Unfortunately for me Amtrak had some PTC issues with the test train last night and I did not get to see them rolling. I did manage to grab some stills of 300 and 301 as well as see B33, 354, and B25.

B33 was first coming back from Battle Creek with 8 cars.

354 followed B33 with an amfleet II first out.

300 was set aside for the evening as the testing likely was going to be between 90 and 301 only.

301 was paired with 90 and the two cars.

Finally B25 got out of Jackson with a pair of SD40-2’s and 52 cars.

Good shots.

B25 is the turn to Wayne, right? Do you recall what time they left Jackson?
