Here's a second shot of ADIX #800.

I used to work on the ADIX, or ADCX (or even earlier, ADCR) as it was designated at the time, or the Adirondack Scenic Railroad to the average person. These cars, coach #5320 the "Old Forge" on the right, and #800, a cafe lounge, on the left, are used on services between Utica and Thendara. This was taken as Amtrak train #284 made its station stop in Utica.

Amtrak saved the day for me when I had to get my flight to Greece. The whole of the Northeastern U.S., with the exception of New York City and the Tri-State area, was inundated by blizzards, and the blizzards continued for days, so it was clear that my flight to Newark was going to be cancelled before I even got there. Amtrak, while late as usual, was also running as usual...in the blizzard, making the choice clear. Here Amtrak #707 works train #284, the "Mohawk," to NY Penn at Syracuse.
