Alexandria on 8/27

One of the few moments of sunshine on my recent ten day NJ and DC trip resulted in these two unusual (unusual to me at least) passsenger movements.

The first was a northbound VRE led by the a locomotive (it had two cab cars in the consist).

The second was an Amtrak regional with the fast vanishing older paint scheme on a Dash 8 leaer.
