The P32s are reliable and they can run faster than they normally do.I was on a P32 hauled train that made Croton-Harmon to Poughkeepsie in well under the advertised time. The engineer stole a few extra horsepower by cutting out the HEP while accelerating from the station stops. Amtrak's P32's do over 100 mph in places. Amtrak is doing track and signal work between Albany and Poughkeepsie to allow more fast running. |
