First Viewliner Baggage Car in Service on Amtrak #6

Описание: Amtrak train #6 leaves the depot in Ottumwa, Iowa to continue heading eastward to Chicago on September 10, 2015. The first car on this train is a brand new Viewliner II baggage car. This is the first time a Viewliner baggage car has been used in revenue service on the "California Zephyr."

This new baggage car is the same one seen deadheading on a westbound "Zephyr" back in July:    • First New Baggage Car on Zephyr Plus Priva...  . It was in the Oakland Yard for crew training when it had to be pressed into service after this train's fifty-four-year-old heritage baggage car developed a problem and had to be removed: http://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.... The new Viewliners mark the return of Amtrak's Phase III scheme, though upgraded with Amtrak's current logo.

At the beginning of the video, a southbound coal train can been seen going across the diamond crossing behind #6. This is the same one from the last video first seen starting to go over the diamond right after the "Zephyr" stopped at the station:    • First California Zephyr Using Viewliner Ba...  .
