In celebration of Amtrak's 40th birthday, here's what I saw of them during my trip up north in Albany, On that day, I learned that heritage unit 156 was coming in on the eastbound Lake Shore Limited, and so dashed to downtown to try to catch it. Amtrak 156 was the first heritage unit I had shot for any railroad, with UP 1982 ranking 2nd, and later Amtrak 66 and Iowa Interstate 513. Other shots include the arrival and departures of two Empire Service trains and the Lake Shore Limited, as well as various equipment parked at the nearby maintenance facility. All aboard, Amtrak!
