| I took some roster photos on the platform shortly before departing Washington, DC. Parked on a nearby track is ACS-64 #615. These units are currently being built by Siemens in Sacramento, CA and are replacements for the AEM-7's. Amtrak will be getting a total of 70 of these electric units. |

 |
| Now crossing the Delaware River, leaving the Keystone State Of Pennsylvania and entering the Garden State Of New Jersey.
The sign on that bridge says it all "Trenton Makes, The World Takes". There are actually 2 bridges in this photo, the closer one carries US Highway 1 and the one in the distance with the signage on it carries Bridge Street. |

 |
| Welcome To The Big Apple! This would be my stop on this leg of the trip, New York's Penn Station!!! |
 |
| Because this train operates in push-pull mode once it gets off the Northeast Corridor at New Haven, CT, this Control Coach is situated on one end of the train and a P42DC will be on the other end to provide power. This car is a former Budd Pennsylvania Metroliner car. |
 |
