Obviously this is not Amtrak #45 as this photo was taken 11.11.88 in Orange, VA at 3:40 PM of Amtrak #333, an F40PH, on the point westbound #51 Cardinal entering C&O tracks. The photo above was taken from this exact same location 35 years later of AMTK #45 leading the Cardinal. Compare the 2 photos for the differences.

10.29.23 Orange, VA. The westbound Cardinal just came off the NS mainline from Alexandria heading for its next stop in Charlottesville via Gordonsville. Thirteen days shy of exactly 35 years ago (1988) when I photographed F40PH AMTK 333 leading the Cardinal in this same spot. See photo below. A C&O cantilevered signal tower was in the same location as the current signal mast. Also missing is a switch to a two-track siding where the satellite dish is now. The 1988 Cardinal had 9 cars, today's version has 5. This rail line into Orange provided the original Virginia Midland RR with a connection to the pre-Civil War Alexandria & Orange RR.

They usually only need two...mechanical problems?
