  • are the lights on 3:45 real

  • @USMatman100 what do you mean?

  • Metra in Chicago still runs about 80-100 right now. Wonder what prompts Amtrak to get rid of the F40's so fast?

  • @ChicagoRailMan probably just that the p42 is better for long distance trains, If they were crap, Amtrak wouldn't have tried to salvage parts and convert them into cabbages

  • Coaster also uses a modified version of the F40PH. Also, I don't think the X in CSX stands for Expanded. I think CSX is short for Chessie Seaboard International.

  • WOW AMTRAK CLASSIC HORSEPOWER very well remembered and still in service like those times that will never come back. Greetings from MEXICO.
