On the first day of Spring, Amtrak Phase 1 Heritage 156 leads the SB Adirondack, with 5 amfleets. down the Saratoga Controlled Siding as it approaches its station stop at Saratoga. This location is the former D&H XN Cabin. I believe this is the engines 6th assignment since being released from Beech Grove on March 16, 2011. The last three have been 48, 69, and now 68.
The Adirondack follows both the Hudson and the Lake Champlain shoreline on its leisurely trip between New York and Montreal. When it started, it was pulled by beautiful ALCO PAs purchased by Delaware & Hudson second-hand from the Santa Fe.
