AMTK 57 and unit express train
Title:  AMTK 57 and unit express train
Description:  In January of 1998, Amtrak was authorized by BNSF to run at speeds up to 90 mph with trains that included 60 foot express boxcars on them. For a time, Amtrak ran express only trains on the Marceline Sub before getting out of the express business since the freight railroads complained it was infringing on their business. Here's an example of one of the unit express trains at WB Jct.
