Amtrak is running a special train around the country to mark the railroad's 40th anniversary. The train was in Providence Station this weekend so I spent about an hour checking things out.

From Gaspee Street, F40PH #406 rebuilt by Amtrak's Beech Grove shops:

I was about to leave around 1700, but heard on the scanner that Amtrak's Capitol Limited was close by. It was worth sticking around a little longer to catch it.

Last week on vacation my fiancee and I took Amtrak's Southwest Chief from Chicago to Flagstaff, AZ, which uses the BNSF Transcon Route. Through New Mexico parts of the line is still protected by semaphore signals.

The westbound Chief was led by Engine 184, one of four locomotives repainted by Amtrak into one of its four "heritage" schemes to celebrate Amtrak's 40th Anniversary of service. This was the Phase IV paint scheme used by Amtrak before its current Phase V paint, shot during a station stop at Kansas City, MO.

I have had a lot more luck shooting trains than fire trucks these days. Doesn't anyone hang out at the firehouse anymore?

I grabbed this early evening shot of this UP auto rack train running through Whitesboro NY last night.
