I don't know if this counts, but in March 2003 I saw a Superliner trainset in Detroit. It seemed to be running approximately when 350 would be coming through, eastbound.

AmtrakFan,
I see you live in Downers Grove. You weren't one of the kids watching trains up at the station on Friday evening, were you?

Why not contact them directly? I would think a company that size would have someone who would handle public relations and media inquiries.

I was a bigger fan of JDI and KPK myself. I think a lot of the DPM mystique comes from the era he was around in.
