Amtrak ACS64 #618

Posted by Train Dude on Fri Oct 2 11:03:53 2020

Recently, I found a photo of this loco wearing NYC Lightning Stripe livery. I can only find that one photo. My question; was this a photo shopped photo or are there ACS 64 locos in heritage liveries?

I had 642 to WAS on an NER to connect to the Crescent, which had 42, which was sort of cool...I sort of remember 642 having the tribute to Joe Boardman on it, I can't find the folder with the picture files..

Let me correct that and say I had it on the NEC to WAS for the engine change on the Crescent.....

I really like the veteran livery. I have a model of #42 which is essentially the same paint scheme

Thank you. I guess that pretty much confirms that they were photoshopped.
