EMD/ASEA AEM-7AC 921 Approaching Mystic, Connecticut by Ryan Taylor Via Flickr: 3:15am Washington DC - Boston (arrival 11:10am) on the approach to Mystic (where this service only stops at weekends). As with driving on the right in the USA, trains run on the oposite track to the UK. The AEM-7s (dating from 1979) are to be replaced by the on order Siemens ACS-64s from 2013. I was very disappointed with the weather on the whole trip but in hindsight it could have been worse - two weeks after flying back, Hurricane Sandy hit the US east coast.
Absolute American classic.
I like this equipment a lot more than I objectively should. Seriously how do I go from British Steam to THIS?
Hey a train’s a train.
And with that in mind I like that this photo came from a UK based train enthusiast.
