On the Berea webcam this morning at 657am there was an eastbound Amtrak train on the NS with 2 units and 7 cars. The train identified as “30” which is the Capital Limited. I checked the Amtrak website and the Capital Limited was shown as being past Pittsburgh.
Lake Shore Limited was also past Cleveland.
Anyone know what this train was? Perhaps an extra movement of power and cars?

Just noticed on the Trains News that Biden has a whistle stop train which starts in Cleveland.
This train was possibly a movement to position cars for the Whistle Stop tour.

Symbols aren’t really something I’m too up on, but I thought the Capitol Limited is 02T to NS.
NS symbols only make sense on the NS - NS doesn’t even symbol Amtrak trains by their Amtrak numbers.

Had seen a couple of notices of Biden’s upcoming Campaign Train and its scheduled TT to run; sometime after the scheduled debate: from Cleveland area to Pennsylvania (Scranton area, maybe ?)…
Was not sure it was even ging to happen, what with news coverage being what it is these days… So last evening (Sat PM) I caught a fast film clip on a news broadcast… just noted it…[ WELL! OK !] [swg] The saw a similar clip this AM… Something about it was sort of strange…
IN both clips…The ‘throngs’ along the railroad as it past, seemed to mostly be holding all sorts of Trump paraphenallia… That was weird! [|(][|(][|(][X-)]
