Description:

Amtrak #353 pushed WB on approach to the Jackson Depot - 6/11/01.  The "engine" is actually a former engine - now a baggage car with controls for the engine at the rear which is pushing the train.  This push-pull operation negates the need to turn the train at the end of the trip and offers some safety to the engineer in case of collision at a grade crossing.
