Rare Catch at Springfield Union Station

Hello, Railfans! Mr. Conductor from Shining Time Station Railfan here welcoming all back to my YT Channel. In this video, I’m at Springfield Union Station. I saw the RAREST catch of Amtrak. 2 Metroliner Cab Cars were coupled up each other, just like the old days ever since Pennsylvania Railroad and Penn Central for test runs, and Penn Central and Amtrak for Revenue Run until 1980s. It was actually a double Hartford trains were coupled up each other. And for Lake Shore Limited, I saw the first 4 cars were uncoupled from Albany while the rest of the consist were heading back to New York Penn Station. Speaking of Lake Shore Limited, I saw 3 P42DC’s were leading, but 77 wasn’t powered up, because it got a shattered windows and was thrown by rocks from a trespasser. Before the Lake Shore Limited came, I just saw a dead hawk on Track 7 after the train hitted. That’s all I have to say. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy it.
