This is one of several engines running around right now that Amtrak has painted into a special paint scheme commemorating their 40th anniversary. There are a few different special schemes, each from a different period in Amtrak's history. :3
nice!i was there and you can see me in the video walking with my 2 railfanning friends at 0:04 on the bottem left of the screen i was wearing a red shirt
@SpeakerPolice Yeah, better than the "Pointless Arrow" and the current swoopy budget airline thing they have, it would be a little clearer. I bet it probably wouldn't change anything, but I'd be tempted to suggest it...
Why is this engine so special? I don't get it.

This livery plus a Helvetica-ized version of the drumhead logo from their route atlas would work really well, wouldn't it? Mmm...Helvetica.

Awesome catch. I wish I could've gone down there to see that. Tampa is a bit of a drive though.
