That third shot has me wondering again, why SEPTA didn't just opt for an add-on to the Arrow III spec, instead of doing Silverliner IVs. They're essentially Arrows without the bathrooms...just sayin'... |

Silverliner IV is more like the Arrow II than III IIRC.And IMHO, NJT got rid of their Arrow IIs prematurely; their average age was 23, and they were abused. |

Additionally the Arrows were the cheapest train set to lease and had more luggage space to boot. IIRC they had a full Amtrak crew.That was a real good day. It was also the last time I shot film :) |

A friend of mine with be taking the SW Chief on Dec 18th, 2020. Chicago to Flagstaff, AZ.I have been watching it every day for a while and it very rarely gets to Flagstaff on time. Either it's freight interference or mechanical problems. |
