Amtrak Metroliner 821

Peter Hultgren	General	Nice photo. Judging by the window band pinstripe color, this looks like the original, very first PRR Metroliner equipment, delivered just about the moment of Penn Central's creation.	6/20/2016 1:10:17 PM

Alan Page	General	Thanks for the great observations, Peter. I saw a number of similarly painted Metroliners a few weeks earlier on the NEC, with some identical as with 821 (800, 803, 815, 816, 852, 864, 880, and 882), but a few had the Amtrak symbol added to the nose(854, 883). They're posted in my Septa stirke NEC album.	6/20/2016 6:44:53 PM
