I had lunch today at Tidewater Grille in Havre de Grace, which has a great view of the NEC bridge over the Susquehanna. During an hour or so lunch, I saw a NB Regional (HHP8), NB Acela, SB Silver Star (AEM7) and NB Regional (HHP8) meeting on the bridge, SB Acela, and SB Regional (HHP8).
View from the restaurant:
(Not actually taken from the restaurant, but the perspective and angle is about the same. You're just a little closer to the bridge when you're in the restaurant.)
Highly recommended for both food and Amtrak trainspotting
But the oddity to me was the SB Silver Star (at 1:31pm): the consist was AEM7, coaches, cafe, diner, two sleepers, baggage. I've never seen a Silver with baggage on the rear. Is this an old change I'd missed, a relatively new change, or a really bizarre one-off?
