Amtrak Train 49, the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago, has a very interesting consist as it makes its way past Croton West Yard, where CSX B749, the local freight, is doing some more switching, as well as where SD60M's 8759 and 8768 are residing for the time being.  49 consists of Genesis P32ACDM 705 and P42DC 44, with a baggage car, a Viewliner Sleeper, 5 Amfleet II coaches, an Amfleet II cafe, a Horizon cafe, 2 more Viewliner Sleepers, and another baggage car.  I have a feeling that the first 5 cars of the train are just along for the ride, but I could be wrong.  Meanwhile, CSX B749 is doing some more switching as it drags some cars out of another track, and then backs down another one.  B749 is using GP38-2's 2807 and 2804 as its power.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on April 29th, 2009.
