Re: (erielack) Lackawanna Stub in Elmira to see varnish

I was told by an Amtrak official that the cars were to be shipped to Albany over the D&H, then on to NYC, but this could change. 
 
I'm still trying to picture in my head the sight of a string of NEW Amtrak viewliner "type" cars parading down the "Route of Phoebe Snow" in Elmira in 2012.... what a wonderful sight to see...

What routing will these new cars follow on their way to Philadelphia or Hialeah?

Makes one conjur, doesn't it?

Made in the Twin Tiers: Wheels rolling at CAF USA



ELMIRA HEIGHTS

Sometime during the first quarter of 2013, Amtrak - the interstate passenger train service company based in Washington, D.C. - expects to receive its first allotment of new stainless steel rail cars from CAF USA's sprawling manufacturing facility in Elmira Heights.

"The early cars will go to Philadelphia, where they'll be checked and inspected by Amtrak to prove they will perform at the designated speeds," said Mark Smith, CAF USA's operations vice president. "The remainder will go to Hialeah, Fla., for commissioning."
