Shameless plug here, I just posted an ad in "Classifieds" for our upcoming Amtrak Excursion. I'ts a chance to ride N&W mainline trackage once more:

What is the motive power for the trips?

Named as Amtrak trains probably part of the Insurance liability, similar what 4449 did heading to/from Owosso Train Fest.

Havent seen pics of the 1134/1118 moves yet

Wizzy Strom posted pics of the 1118 and 1151 moves on rrpicturearchives.net. I believe she also photographed the 1134 and diesel moves, but she hasn't posted those yet. I will be adding links to her pics from the Lost Engines website when she does.

Amtrak insurance, Amtrak locomotives, Amtrak passenger cars, and 7 Amtrak certified privately owned cars. I'll admit that there's been a lot going on around here lately but no, we didn't sneak into VMT after dark and overhaul 611. :) However, VMT is doing a nighttime event with Lerro Productions the following weekend.

Wizzy should be posting some more photos today. I'll do a "Lost Engines" update sometime after the new photos are online.
