| Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited - Train #48 flying by Amsterdam station as it doesn't stop at this station. Today's train had P42DC #109 on the lead. |

| Busy day at Albany-Rensselaer Station. Train #48, bound for New York is in the foreground with its lone P32AC-DM that is added to it once it arrives in Albany so as to facilitate running in the tunnels leading into New York Penn Station. The P32's are "dual mode" units meaning they can run either as a regular diesel locomotive or on 3rd rail electric. |
