Familiar scenery! The private cars are ultimately cool! But I am grateful just to ride on the regular Cardinal.

[@cliffordporteriii6625]

Me too!

[@AppalachiaRRlover]

man one of these days I love to do something like this if I ever had the cash

[@trainman5603]

I agree the cars could be cleaner before being photographed! I have ridden the Cardinal many times. Listing the stations would be nice.

[@KCRX3]

Did you see me and another railfan on the country road crossing just before the station stop in Rensselaer?

[@Chessie_Railfan05]

I did not.

[@KCRX3]

@@Chessie_Railfan05 oh what a shame, I was on that side of the train too just two crossings prior to the station. I’ve got you guys on video here on my channel

[@charmersify]

those cars could be cleaner.

Looks like a frathouse on rails

Was anybody killed?

[@Chessie_Railfan05]

To my knowledge, no one was even injured
