OVERVIEW:

The name Amtrak is the blending of the words "American" and "Track". The railroad's official name is the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. Amtrak began service on May 1, 1971 when Clocker No. 235 departed New York Penn Station at 12:05 a.m. bound for Philadelphia.  The railroad now serves more than 500 stations in 46 states, and operates over more than 22,000 route miles.

PICTURES: Since Amtrak only operates one train into Southern Quebec, I do not have a lot of photos. Click on a thumbnail below to see the full-size picture. These are highly compressed .JPG pictures.
