I took a trip on Amtrak's Northeast Regional from Philadelphia, PA to Washington D.C. (and back) on February 29, 2020. I think I got decent shots. Perhaps a little blurry from motion or fuzzy from the window, but all in all I think they served the purpost of a photograph - to capture the memories. I caught quite a few trains during my trip, mostly Amtrak with a few other commuter rail trains thrown in.

AMTK 648 | Siemens ACS-64
Amtrak #648 sits in a station after we exited our train. I can't remember where though...It makes for a decent first Sprinter catch.

Amtrak GE Genesis
Talk about timing! This is high quality window foam. I think so, anyway. This GE P42 or P40 sits in a yard somewhere on our trip.

Amtrak HHP-8 Deadline
I am slightly disappointed that I couldn't get a sharp shot on this one, but I think I caught a good memory. It was cool to see all these HHP-8's sitting in the deadline with an uncertain future.

AMTK 724 | EMD GP38-3
Our train couldn't have stopped in a better location then right by these Geeps! I was able to get several good photos of them, that's for sure. I believe Amtrak uses these in MOW service and on work trains.

SPAX 369 | GE Silverliner IV
I just turned around after exiting the Philadelphia 30th Street Station to see this SEPTA train pulling in. If it weren't for the motion blue, this would be a really good shot!
