Phase II Hurratij

            Amtrak #66, the original Phase II heritage unit painted for Amtrak's 40th Anniversary in 2011, pauses next to the Market St signals in Grand Rapids as passengers get off the train. We got spoiled with the Pere Marquette that summer, as nearly every single Amtrak heritage unit made an appearance on the train at least once. This would be the only time I ever saw #66 in this scheme, as it would be heavily damaged in a grade crossing accident not long after this and removed from service. I believe it is still sitting in Beech Grove, likely waiting eventual scrapping. The old C&O searchlights here were also not long for the world, coming down in the fall of 2013. Not one of my better night photos, but I'll take it considering the subject matter! The GRPD Crown Vic I inadvertently worked in nicely dates this pic, too.
