Genesis P42 #80 stopped on a train with a Baggage Car north of the Albany Station which means only one thing. It's about to enter service as train #448, the Boston section of the Lakeshore Limited.

The two cars that now provide food service on the Lake Shore Limited. An Amfleet II Lounge Car and Horizon's Dinette Car #53501. I believe (also because it's closer to the Superliner Sleepers) the Amfleet II Lounge is used for full mean service (reheating only of course) and the Dinette for cafe car service.
