This had 3 coaches, a sightseer lounge, a diner, and two sleepers, and was pulled by a single P42. The northbound Train 58 that day did have two units, although one was a P32BWH.

Who was it that sang the song "The City of New Orleans"..??

Gus; That would be Arlo Guthrie who did that song back in the 70s and then later Willie Nelson did his own (bad) version of the song. Hey Willie - put down the weed and leave well enough alone! Icon_lol

The sleeping car attendant on my run played the Johnny Cash version over the PA (just once, he had sense).

Are we O/T yet?
I remember a comment that Amtrak showed beautiful timing by cancelling the train either two weeks before or after the song became a hit.

She took this with her phone while passing near New Brighton Yard. She hadn't seen BC Rail there before...neither had I!

One of the BC unit similar to them was doing switching for a short while earlier this year in Limoilou. There was something "exotic" in spotting it about 3000 km from "home"!

Shoving the cut down the street became much more safe since the Bluford shipments arrived on the other side of the pond.
