Amtrak # 145 was westbound on the Lake Shore yesterday. I got some video of it, but it will be a few days before I get the clip on my youtube page. Sunday, two extra Genesis units were trailing the head end units. The extras were Amtrak #5 and #146, with #106 and #64 leading.

The Corridor Clipper is on the back of Amtrak #171. Just left Stamford.

Two AEM-7s went west from New Haven, CT this afternoon.

Unfortunately, two AEM-7's leading a train are not unique. Sometimes those locomotives are given the designation 'pairs only' which means that for some reason, usually mechanical problems, that it cannot be trusted to lead a train on its own.

Not unique, not rare; I'd say uncommon.
