First-trick dispatcher Kenny Vitiello was the fellow who gave 2150 all the clear signals between New Haven and Boston. After we arrived at South Station I was able to scoot upstairs to snap a couple of photos. I was an Amtrak employee, so I had access to some of these places. Kenny also lined the train out of the terminal to the Dorchester Branch about a half-hour later to go to Southampton Street Yard. It would not travel through the car wash this day. It was too cold, and the chemical-laden water would freeze on it.
