Comments:
Looking at the posted timetable at the Amtrak Station we noticed how both filmed trains' arrival times were very close and we were hoping to catch both in the station. As luck would be, sure enough we were able to shoot both trains in the Ashland station. While fun for us, it wasn't too thrilling for passengers as they were scrambling and confused due to them being on the Southbound side of the station with Amtrak 99 blocking them and them wanting to board Amtrak 66. All in all, everyone got to where they needed to be and both trains took off into the waning evening sun.
