Viewing Album:  When Amtrak Isn't Amtrak!
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/11/2012 - 10/11/2012
Album Info:While photographing the arrivals and departures of various trains at the New Haven Union Station, I took some pics of what I thought was an Amtrak train pulling some unusual looking cars. Little did I realize that what I saw was NOT Amtrak but one of the Connecticut Commuter Rail system which has picked up some former Amtrak power. So, when is Amtrak not Amtrak? - when it's Connecticut Commuter Rail!
