wow!! wut ever happened to the diesels on the keystone corrider, how come i only see aem7's now????? Is it due gas prices or something lol, or since the the aem-7 were rebuild they have enough power to tackle the horse shoe curve or something where the Apalachian mountains are????
HHp8s don't only pull regionals, they probably aren't seen the keystone because maybe amtrak has a limited number of hhp-8s and they are seen more north of NYC
They should have the Metroliner Cab Cars uphere from New Haven-New London-Providence-Attleboro-Route 128/Westwood to Boston South Station especially when they face northward (the same direction as MBCR's Kaweasaki 1700 CTC-4 Bilevel cars) to simulate an MBCR View
@THEFINALHAZARD Bananas are the HHPs because of their shape. They're also called hippos. Meatballs are the AEM-7s because they were made and designed in Sweden. They're also called toasters.

does Amtrak practice push-pull operation only with ALP44s?

I've seen a Banana pull Train 653 a few weeks ago. Unfortunately they swapped it out for a Meatball at Philly for the run to Harrisburg.
