Thread For Posting Heritage Unit Locations

Does anyone know where No. 145 is going to be tomorrow ? Just curious.

Believe its been on the Chicago-Washington, DC runs

Heading South with Amtrak 97 (Silver Meteor) on the head end tonight with the Beech Grove tacked on the rear for the ride. All of you down South along the line be ready for her if you want to take some pics.

Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately, I won't be able to see it. Maybe when it comes back up probably catch it in Alexandria, VA

Amtrak has released a New 40th Anniversary Genesis P42 paint Scheme on #145 and there is word that others will be painted in Heritage Schemes. Here is what I heard:

P42 #156 Phase I paint

P42 #66 Phase II paint

P42 #145 Phase III paint

P42 #117 Phase IV paint

They will also have a P40 (#822), an F40, three baggage cars, and an Amfleet food service car for a Museum Train that will begin touring in May.

Looks great! Good to see the 1971-2011 in between the Amtrak logo. They really did a good job on this loco.

I feel foolish asking this, but what are the last three cars in that video?

I guess I've never paid much attention to them, are they Viewliners?
