Here's P42 engine road number 2 with the City of New Orleans at Brookhaven in January 2008. This was the second one built for Amtrak at GE's Erie plant in 1996. She has now received the new style fibreglass bolty nose since this vid was shot. As we update this in September we are still waiting for the first of the reburbished P40s "stimulus" engines to come out of Beech Grove. Amtrak continues to refurbish some of the older P42s now, with #16 being the latest to come out last week. The number of hard steel noses out there is just about down to single digits. Other recent exterior changes include replacement of builder data stickers, addition of other various stickers and placards, cab cameras in the firemans window, and of course the wi-fi antennas on the top of the cab. As this is updated, road numbers 3, 4, 7, and 8 are out of service due to wrecks or fire. They were part of a group initially assigned to New Orleans for maintenance as they were delivered in 1996. Except for the P32 s numbered in the 500 series, these lower numbered P42 engines are at age 13 the oldest diesels left in Amtrak's stable.

Not happening. UP wants a billion to allow Amtrak one more Sunset from San Antonio to LAX. Wonder what sorta payday CSX would want!
