Amtrak hawtness!   8)

Yep. That's AMTK 48/49, the DC section of the Broadway Limited (as evidenced by the sleeper, which the other Amtrak train, The Liberty Limited, doesn't carry).

Yep!
I'm very excited about it. This means that I can now start running actual ops sessions, even if they're just mini ones.

Make sure to bring some suitable power for when you visit.

Here is the train sitting in Baltimore now.

Because of my spate of visitors as of late, I've put together some documentation to help them along.

I really like them, especially the guide book.

What a great idea Ed!  The train consist cheat sheet, sample car reports and track diagrams would be a huge help for operators.

Pretty sure she does, Ed. She had that look in her eye last time I was over to "work on the layout".

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

What we need is a header with Ed K lounging around in a ConRail bikini -- that would cure anybody's desire to model that road. :D
Worst possibility, tho,  is it draws somebody to model CR.  :scared:
