Amtrak: Long - Long - Short . Long -

Please stay behind the yellow line until the train comes to a complete stop. Then climb aboard and enjoy a visual trip of current Amtrak passenger travel in our section of the Northwest - plus a few other locales and liveries - through over one hundred full-color photographs, braving all kinds of weather.

While the venerable toaster - I mean, P42DC power unit - predominates the railway, we still cover the other powered and non-powered NPCU representatives that have crossed our lens over the years. Even an apparent heir to ugh, the amazing AMTK 7911 cab unit (restricted to a single image, fortunately).

You'll even find a section dedicated to the portion of the consist that pays the bills with diners, coaches, baggage cars, and even a bistro Cascade unit.

So grab a copy, settle down behind the dropping gates, and savor the "Long - Long - Short . Long -" sound of the approaching train.
