Description:  Amtrak 90250 trails on Amtrak 505 in Sumner, WA on 6/17/18. This was after me remarking "Wheres 505?" to my friend who was looking at transit docs at the time, and less than 5 seconds later the bells went off. Fun!

BNSF And Outbound Amtrak
Title:  BNSF And Outbound Amtrak
Description:  Amtrak Cabbage 90250 brings up the rear of Amtrak Cascades #504 as it rolls out of Vancouver. The odd piece of equipment is an NPCU (Non-Powered Control Unit), similar to a cab car. This NPCU is made out of an old Amtrak F40PHR, and was originally built as Amtrak 250 in 1977. When the F40s were retired from mainline service on Amtrak, a handful of them had their engines and traction motors removed, and the empty space filled with a baggage compartment. This earned the units the nickname "Cabbages" (portmanteau of Cab and Baggage). In its 45 year career with Amtrak, the "Cabbage" has worn a total of 4 liveries, plus a commemorative wrap.

NPCU In The Lead
Title:  NPCU In The Lead
Description:  Amtrak 90250 leads a southbound Cascades service into Tukwila station. 90250 was built in 1977 as an F40PHR, using parts from trade-in SDP40Fs. When the F40s were bumped from mainline duties by GE Genesis locomotives, this unit was rebuilt without and engine as an Non-powered control unit (NPCU). This unit has been assigned to the Amtrak Cascades service for several years at this point, and is leading a set of Horizon cars today.
