Cool meetup catch of P030 and P029 with the Phase 7 P42DC, Dash 8 and four NEW ALC-42s!

Imagine the confluence of events that had to occur for #29 and #30 to meet precisely at Harper’s Ferry … and on top of that, with so many Phase VII locomotives of both old and new vintage in one place at one time!

That is incredible ! Thank you for share !

Awesome Catch, Kaleb!!!!! That's one of new P42DC Heritage Units that's been repainted this year I guest.

Actually it’s not a special interest or heritage unit, this is gonna be the new standard paint scheme for the P42s from now on

Oh ok, I get it. Thanks for explaining about that.

174 looks so good! More P42s in Phase 7!

What an awesome set of locomotives at the lead! I also can't believe how awesome the P42 looks in the Phase VII livery. I hope Amtrak keeps rolling those out for all of those still in service.

Wonderful news!!!!

Crazy catch! Wow what a consist on 30 and even had the first of the VII P42s on 29!

You just got yourself a New Subscriber! Good job on the video catch ❤🚂

Awesome, thank you so much!

That Superliner consist that 174 was pulling almost looks like the Texas Eagle consist but without the baggage car

Also, take a long look at P030's diner. I was the first one to spot it

Hi! New subscriber. YT put you in the mix today. Looked like it might be Harper's Ferry and it was.

@@RailfanKaleb It's my pleasure I'm sure. I remember riding that train from Pittsburgh with my mom before Christmas of '87 and after New Year's of '88. It was Called the Capital Limited and had a dining car, snack bar car and Vista Dome car. We got into DC 2 or 3 hours late. We didn't have as much layover time to meet up my aunt and uncle to hit the sites and catch the Colonial down to Newport News. The food in dining car was excellent and mobile at the same time.

I can’t believe how I caught 39 2 times without the consist.

There were more locomotives than the amount of passenger cars.

I guess you could call that "overpowered"

​@RailfanKaleb not really, the 4 ALC42s were actually just being delivered to Amtrak, one the P42 and Dash 8 were powering

Why so many Chargers? They appeared to be Dead In Consist. Were they being moved elsewhere?
