Train Consist
The Hoosier State generally operates with two coaches, generally Horizon equipment, but occasionally supplemented by Amfleet cars. Power is a General Electric Genesis P42DC locomotive. There are no food-service cars because the train offers only coach-class service. However, the train often carries cars to and from Amtrak's repair facility at Beech Grove.

Famous quotes containing the words train and/or consist:
“The landscape of the northern Sprawl woke confused memories of childhood for Case, dead grass tufting the cracks in a canted slab of freeway concrete. The train began to decelerate ten kilometers from the airport. Case watched the sun rise on the landscape of childhood, on broken slag and the rusting shells of refineries.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Sir Toby Belch. Does not our life consist of the four elements?
Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Faith, so they say, but I think it rather consists of eating and drinking.
Sir Toby Belch. Thou’rt a scholar; therefore let us eat and drink.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
