i knew they had one, i just wanted to know what kind it was.

They're P32AC-DMs. It's a variant of the P42 developed jointly by Amtrak and Metro North Commuter Railroad to replace the ex-New Haven FL-9s, and share with them the ability to run as straight electric locomotive off the third rail. The P32s purchased for service in Connecticut have a faux McGinnis paint job in part as a note to Connecticut State funds having been used for their purchase.

(edit for spelling)

thanks! I still plan on using the genisis though.

Technically none since NH doesn't exist any more.

Believe that'd be a CDOT (Connecticut Department of Transportation) unit painted into a heritage New Haven McGinnis-era scheme.


... sorry to be a pedant :-)


D'Oh. Phil beat me to it....
