Thread For Posting Heritage Unit Locations

P42 #145 is currently sitting outside of the Wilmington shops. I'd wager a bet that this willbe the unit on display in wilmington for the celebration.

I'd say you are 99.9% correct there!

National Train Day? Last i checked, that's in two months. Is there some other celebration soon?

Someone managed to get a photo of it before they sent it out. As far as I know this was taken yesterday or the day before. http://indianarailroads.org/board/index ... 33%3Bimage

P42+Phase 1= Weird.

There's a reason why they didn't keep Phase I for very long.

Still, it's cool to see Amtrak acknowledging the company's heritage in such a big, visible way.

I've been waiting to see this. I would have thought the red would have ended right near the window line, if not cover the whole nose.

all we have to wait for is the phase II now. all that needs to be done for the phase IV is do some touch up and add the memorial lettering.

It's on Amtrak's facebook page now.
Anybody notice that the years on the side of the locomotive are kinda...rounded?

Amtrak locomotive 156, a P42 locomotive with an adaptation of the first Amtrak paint scheme from 1972, has been released from our Beech Grove, Ind., facility. It will lead Train 30, the Capitol Limited, leaving this evening from Chicago en route to Washington. Coincidentally, tonight’s Train 30 will also include Amtrak business car ...10001, the “Beech Grove.”

The front end of 156 looks like something McGinnis would have dreamed up for the New Haven.
