I took a train on January 26 from Boston and it had a P42. I knew they couldn't quite go 125 mph, but I was curious as to what they could do. I was quite surprised that it topped out at 108, which is faster than the published speed. The train was on time, as well!
Awesome catches of the P42s, doubleheader HHP-8s, and the Corridor Clipper!! 5 million stars! Excellent horn action too! And also, nice catch of my favorite Acela set at the very beginning with the right power unit leading! (2034-2032)
I look foward to seeing them! Oh I forgot to say that it's terrible that Amtrak is installing E-Bells on their P42s. I like the E-Bells but on the Genesis series locos, not so much considering (in my opinion) they have the best original bells around. I'm just lucky Metro-North & SLE aren't doing this with their P32s & P40s.
@Train538 i get why u don't like them and trust me i like the regular bells but i bet from a maintenance personal perspective its one less part to fix
i hate that fucking bell grrrrr they must buy something new cause this is old like usa :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

@mjsax2390 they can go 110 which is still pretty good for a diesel

Good variety, on and off trains. Be good to edit out ground shots and shaky parts.
