Neat article. The train is going to Strasburg... Hmmm, I think a trip is in order.

Here is the Phase IV unit that the site doesn't have a photo of (personally my favorite heritage scheme and Amtrak scheme): http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=2500030

Also F40PH #406 repainted to Phase III but now just a HEP unit and control cab: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=2484776

I hope RSC manages it to bring a Genesis pack out this year (they announced it some while ago).

They could make an Amtrak 40th anniversary pack with the heritage units included. Would be wonderful.

I don't get remotely close to Strasburg during a Thomas week. Made that mistake once.. Never.. EVER again. I still get headaches even thinking about it.
