An Amtrak AEM-7 digs in to the super elevated curve at Claymont, DE en route to Wilmington, DE. Long gone are the wood ties, jointed rail and even the classic PRR station as seen in Don Oltmann's 1979 photo.
Amtrak's Northeast Corridor cuts across the northern end of Delaware. Go to the cafe car for a coffee and you might miss it. The state may be small but among Acelas, regional trains and long distance there is plenty of action.
