FOTOS and VIDEO - Amtrak ACS-64 Sprinter at NHV 09-06-13 |
|
|
Posted by Fred G on Sat Sep 7 10:28:49 2013 I was a dirty stayout last night, fanning at New Haven's Union Station to catch the ACS-64 Sprinter on its first test run to Boston. Test train personnel around the train, which stayed in New Haven for a bit. The project manager asked me how I knew the train's schedule and seemed surprised to hear it was all over Facebook. Another guy asked me "Do the police know you're here?" I replied "Everybody knows I'm here".  Another shot of the gang. That LED Headlight is really bright. I mean blindingly so.  Shot sans people.  The starboard side of the engine. And here's a short clip of him arriving at New Haven. The train was about an hour to 90 min late getting up to NHV and leaving FYI, the train will return today, reportedly coming down right after Train 163. Thanks for looking, your pal, Fred |

Since it's a test unit, that's why all what's on the body. When Amtrak gets the permanent units they will have standard Amtrak on them. |

Doesn't Siemens still own those locomotives? I believe they haven't been accepted by Amtrak as yet and that's something these tests will accomplish. But until then, when Amtrak accepts the engine, what business is it of some rail fan as to what they put on the side of their llocomotive. |

That one's a winner. If Amtrak doesn't come crawling to you to use that as a publicity shot, then they aren't being run by the right folks . . . |
