Did the Model Railroader magazine ever run a set of drawings for the DL&W Phoebe Snow train like they did other name trains (GN's Empire Builder and AT&SF's Super Chief) come to mind. I am looking for drawings for the Phoebe Snow smoothside coaches (just coaches, not diners, observation cars...

I recently saw a picture of an Amtrak train running through Chatham, NY. I believe it was taken of a newly-instituted Amtrak train. Can anyone give me more information on this train (Train #, route, etc.)? I would love to drive down to Chatham to take pictures of it, but I don't know much about it. ...
