Starting off at Baltimore Penn Station, ACS-86 #660 rolls in ahead of a southbound Regional train.
Despite the general phase out of B&O CPL type signals, two were installed at Baltimore Penn in tight clearance situations because they are still in the NORAC rulebook. Here the southbound dwarf signal on CHARLES' interlocking track #7 displays an Approach Slow indication with the distinctive yellow orbital in the 2 o'clock position.
On Thanksgiving day a Philly-bound NJT Atlantic City Rail Line train seen coming and going from the Chapel Ave bridge in Cherry Hill with GP40PH-2B #4207 and Comet V cab car #6009.
Here is an Atlantic City bound train with Comet V cab car #6006 and GP40PH-2B #4218. NJT tends to have inbound and outbound trains meet at the Pennsauken Transit Center a few miles to the north.
Finally moving down to Odenton here is Amtrak ACS-86 #634 with a northbound 10-car Regional.
MARC SC44 #65 with a northbound Penn Line local. Bombardier split level cab car #8057 was on the rear end.
Amtrak ACS-86 #664 with a southbound Regional.
Northbound Acela Express trainset trails brake shoe smoke with power cars #2010 and #2015.
MARC K-Cab Kar #7845 leading a soundbound Penn Line train with SC44 #83 and MP36PH-3C #30. #83 appears to be dead with with more reliable MPI unit doing all the work.
Moving over to the other side of the platform I was just in time to catch class leading Acela Express trainset with power car #2000 leading and #2002 on the rear. For whatever reasons few if any AX sets run with sequential power cars.
Northbound Amtrak 9-car Regional train with ACS-86 #632.
I'll close out with a snap video of southbound Regional Train #155 running in push-pull mode with ACS-86 #660 leading and #632 on the opposite end. At this point in time Trains #155 and #122 would run with either two engines or a Metroliner Cab Car to facilitate a fast turn at Washington that did not involve turning the trainset on the DC wye track.
