after reading the post about the NS Heritage units, I would like to post some pictures of each of the Amtrak Heritage units. We have been blessed with seeing all of these several times in Northern California. This is Amtrak # 66. Larry  |

Amtrak used two of these several times for special trains. The 66 leads a Fun Train back from Reno last year. Larry  |

When does the fun train run? ChrisP The Fun Train runs on a schedule that is posted on line. You can google the Fun Train and see the schedule, which is over after this weekend for 2013. The Snow train normally runs on alternate Tuesday and Thursday's with the same equipment as the Fun Train. They are both hosted by the same company.

Yesterday, # 6 Amtrak had 117 unit leading with an odd paint scheme, probably due to some kind of damage to the front end. This is a one of a kind since it is not blue on the front. larry  |
