I want to be sure folks are also following the Acela II (Avelia Liberty) discussion board. Avelia Trainset #4 is scheduled to be towed from NY Penn to Philly tonight on the NEC potentially via P42 diesel engines. This could be a rare opportunity to catch not only new Acela but Genesis P42s under the wires. Railjunkie broke the story so all credit to him.
