It’s a nicer day to be on the train. A few minutes ago I boarded Amtrak train 493 (Springfield-New Haven shuttle connection to train 93).
Amtrak sign at Windsor Locks. The ‘station’ is just a short platform with a shelter.Tight view of Amtrak P42 number 111 leading train 493 as it approaches Windsor Locks, just before 11 am today.Passengers boarding. Three got on here, including myself. Another 5-6 passengers boarded at Windsor, and a good few at Hartford.Old school Amfleet; rock solid and comfortable, but the windows are kind of small. Standard Amtrak equipment.
I exposed these photos with my Lumix LX7, scaled them on-board the train using my MacBook and uploaded them on Amtrak’s free WiFi.
As I write this the train is approaching Berlin, Connecticut.
I looked for you, but I was on the wrong side of the train! This is the first leg of a 5-6 leg railway journey. More soon!
Sorry I didn’t wave!
