This is a special Amtrak Train that has been touring the country. It consists of two locomotives painted in heritage schemess from the past and has several baggage cars filled with displays from Amtrak's history. At the end of the train is a ex-Union Pacific Sleeper built in 1951.
Since i am a railfan I had to go see it in Galesburg which is about an hour and twenty minutes away by train from Mendota IL.
I highly recommend folks to see it if it comes to your state. See the Amtrak 40th anniversary website for where it will be in the remainder of 2011.
The music in the video is performed by me and the Amtrak Song goes back a few years now but people seem to like it so here it is again.
Thanks !
