Amtrak Autumn Express 2017 at Scarborough w/ Metro-North 8848 & Lake Shore Limited 49

On October 14 & 15, 2017, Amtrak has run its Autumn Express excursion this year making a loop around the Hudson River traveling from NYP along the CSX River Sub and back down to NYP via the Hudson Line. I was lucky enough to catch to the train in Scarborough on its last run. I also caught the Lake Shore Limited 49 for Chicago and Metro-North Express 8848 for Grand Central who was racing the train ahead. Some young train buffs were there too so they were lucky enough to capture this rare experience. This capture of the Autumn Express has been the best railfanning experience of the year and possibly one of the best in my entire life.
Trains:
Amtrak Lake Shore Limited 49 to Chicago w/ P32 710
Metro-North Express 8848 to GCT w/ Shoreliner 6207 & P32 214
Amtrak Autumn Express 805 to NYP w/ P42 145, ACS-64 642 and P42 156

I was planning to go there but I decided on Manitou instead. I like this station a lot.

Aw shucks, I was the only buff at the station who knew the train was coming that day. But yes, Scarborough is a lovely station and it's a good thing it's a good biking distance from where I live.

What time did this train come? Also is it running this year?

[@penncentral6706]

Around 5:50pm and no it’s not running this year, one hasn’t run since this one.

[@nerailvideos]

Hi! I’m not sure if you remember. But I was the kid on the other platform with my friend.

[@penncentral6706]

I do remember and was that really you? It’s cool to hear from you! I’m wondering if any of you still have your recording of the train.

[@nerailvideos]

I do. I was the one with the blonde hair. And recently I posted a flashback video of an Amtrak.

[@penncentral6706]

I don’t see the Autumn Express but yes, I do remember I told you guys to stick around for it. I hope that paid off

[@nerailvideos]

It’s was an Empire Service.

[@greaternyrailfan]

will the autumn express run this year?

[@penncentral6706]

Most likely not. Hasn’t been one since 2017 thanks to the management at the time not wanting to continue it.

[@ryansrailwayproductions794]

You had a bad camera

[@penncentral6706]

Ok and?

[@ryansrailwayproductions794]

UMM bad sound also it keeps glitching
