Remarks & Notes

If an image could sum up Amtrak in the early aughts, this might be it. No less than three paint scheme phases are represented in this one train. The Vermonter is led by an AEM-7 in Phase III paint as it speeds through Linden on the Northeast Corridor. The head car, as well as the fourth and fifth cars, wear short-lived Phase V Acela Regional paint which included color coded "mobiles" denoting the type of service for each car. The second and third cars wear Phase IV paint. Rounding out the hind end of the train are a series of cars in Phase III paint including two material handling cars that were probably carrying mail and express shipments. Worth mentioning is the Vermonter's baggage car which technically adds a fourth paint scheme to the colorful consist.

The successor to the Montrealer, the Vermonter runs between St. Albans, Vt., and Washington, DC. Much of the northern part of the route runs along the Connecticut and White Rivers.
