Amtrak GP-38-2 in Sanford Florida used to spot cars for the Auto Train. Amtraks longest passenger train , and Amtraks ONLY non stop train ,it does make a stop for engineer swap , but it’s not a station stop , no passengers on , but recently they had police there to remove a drunk and disorderly passenger
The big question: Where is the Rooster???
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW:
Whatever happened to that rooster?
Never heard of the guy myself.
The ghost of Boomer , asks where is Rooster? That’s funny !!
Boomer , what’s up dude?!!!
Rumor has it, he will surface soon 
Concerning the Aero Train. Reports from back-in-the-day say the ride got extremely rough at speeds over 60mph. The coaches were bus bodies and the air suspension caused them to bounce a lot at speeds over 60mph; those bodies were just too light for railroad use. Instead of a bounce castle, one could just take the Aero Train!

i’m not quite sure, but i’ve seen a north-american expat down here, that somewhat likens the description of the missing poultry:
a doorstopper in a hotel that is equipped with antiques.
A steal, I tell ya, cheaper than an LGB boxcar!

Ooh, I’m gettin my Bill game on! I asked ChatGPT, “Show an image of a Rooster in Lord of the Rings armor” (because Dave Meashey’s such a fan, and I confess I’m one also). Result:
They even made room in the helmet for the comb! It’s asking to be sliced off by an orc, but daaaang…
Cliff;
Judging from the tree on the rooster’s breastplate, I’d say that he must be fighting for Gondor! Aragorn’s banner had a similar tree.

You know how they sort of try to dress up whatever locos for a “Thomas Day”?
I got a better idea…
Or this. You’d have to put cameras in the eyeballs & dark spaces for the crew, but hey it’s just a working concept at this point.
On most Amtrak routes, wind resistance shouldn’t be a an issue, just design the props for 10mph and you’re good.
