(this livery is a replica of its real life counterpart) Now, as you may know, I make a lot of Canadian content, but since I want to spread my interests to a broader audience, I chose to make this, which I think is just perfect for a "Can-American project." It shows international friendship, and maybe, just maybe, if you all ask enough, I'll make more international projects. Now, time for the description: Amtrak leased Bombardier LRC (Light, Rapid, Comfortable) trainsets from 1980 to 1982 for service on the Northeast Corridor between New Haven, CT, and Boston, MA. The trainsets, which featured a locomotive and several coaches, were leased for a two-year period for Amtrak's 10th anniversary, but Amtrak did not purchase them. The locomotives were then sent to VIA Rail in Canada, where they operated until 2001.
