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.
14 July, 2008
A view of train #42, the eastbound Lake Shore Limited stopped at Albany with the various types of cars it uses visible.
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.
A rare comparison between the backs of two Genesis Locomotives, Dual Mode P32AC-DM #715, that has no rear door backing onto Train #68 the Southbound Adirondack and P42 #121 being removed from that train that indeed has a rear door.

P42 #121 approaches the back of an OOS train on the opposite track at Albany to be attached to that train and help navigate it into the train yard.
A crowd of passengers watch the engine change on train #68 at Albany on the ramp down to track level, completely ignoring the 'No Passengers beyond this point sign'.
P42 #121 at MP 142, the milage is from Grand Central (Penn Station is nearly the same)
