AMTRAK Three Rivers with all kinds of RR cars.

We are at CP Pak on the Pittsburgh Mainline as the easy bound Three Rivers, O4T passes on the opposite main. Then a west bound 17G runs the cross overs at track speed to the proper side. 11-08-2003

That deer has a story all its own. When I drove up to this location, there was two hunters calling it quits, and getting into their car empty handed. They left as the Amtrak train passed. I don't think they where gone 15 minutes, and the deer appeared. The dear finally walked down the ROW, and I got pictures of him, and his huge 8 point rack. That was a treat. Thanks for looking, Jack

I have to agree, I miss Amtrak's premier freight train from Chicago/Pittsburgh to NY! Great train it was with a fantastic crew! Glad to be able to be on the last run of her. :(

Really Interesting Video here! I will always miss the 3 rivers Though.

No I am not an employee, just rode it many times from PGH-NYP or CHI-NYP. I miss the Heritage 10-6's that used to be run on this train before the Viewliners were assigned to it. I belive this video was taken after the MHC's were sidelined, as 40/41 used to have 8 or 9 MHC's on the head-end in addition to the load of Express Boxcars and Roadrailers on the rear. Great vid!

Yes they did for several years, but with so many problems, it just didn't work out... Thanks for looking. Jack...

i miss the Three Rivers, best childhood memory, standing in north side, pittsburgh park watching it every day. hmm, aren't they putting a viewliner on the capitol limited and pennsylvanian to supplement the three rivers?

I was born in 2002 and if Amtrak still carried freight then it would be badass to see them out on the rails. I wish Amtrak would carry mail someday if the freight railroads approve

Amtrak Freight Train.

[@Benthetrainkid]

I se Marty from ROHV leading this train.

[@chatanugadotorg]

It's so sad that this was the train that replaced the Broadway. What on earth was Amtrak thinking?

[@OhioRails]

Were you riding it? or were you working on it?

[@Hail2Pitt412]

as the easy bound Three Rivers, O4T passes on the opposite main? you put easy bound instead of East Bound!
