Turbo |
| Description: |
I had just gotten off this train at Hudson, and was able to grab a shot as it pulled away toward Albany. The turbo trains would be the backbone of the Empire Service for the next two decades, and later become a subject of controversy between Amtrak and the state of New York |

Rolling away |
| Description: |
The Adirondack rolls away onto the D&H, having departed the Schenectady station. The track to the left is former NYC and heads down the Mohawk Valley toward Utica and Buffalo. It carries primarily Amtrak trains. There may have been Conrail local service on it at the time of the photo. All through freight used the Selkirk Branch, which joined the Chicago Line at CP 169 near Amsterdam. |

Turbo |
| Description: |
At the time of this visit to Syracuse, Amtrak was still using Turbos for many of its Empire Service trains. One of them is making its stop at the old station at Dewitt Yard, and will shortly be on its way to Utica. |
