AMTK 42 |
| Description: |
Amtrak P42DC 42, decked out in special markings to salute Americas military veterans, arrived in Los Angeles in the pre-dawn hours of September 2nd, and then spent time in the shop getting some mechanical work done. The unit operated on one "Pacific Surfliner" roundtrip on September 11th, and then disappeared again until September 19th, when it was put on display at Los Angeles Union Station. It is scheduled to be on the point of train #4, the eastbound "Southwest Chief," when it departs this same evening. |

AMTK 42 |
| Description: |
Amtrak's Exhibit Train, with P42DC 42 (which commemorates America's military veterans) on the point, passes through Gardners, in southern Pennsylvania, on its way to a display in Gettysburg. Gardners has a population of just about 150 (according to the 2010 Cencus). Amtrak does not operate on this line, which is owned by the Gettysburg & Northern Railroad. |

AMTK 90208 |
| Description: |
On Amtrak's 45th birthday, two of the carrier's three Veterans units were on display at the annual Fullerton Railroad Days celebration: Former F40PH 90208 and P42DC 42 were coupled together for the first time for the show, which also included Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751, BNSF ES44C4 4279 and Disneyland Railroad 4-4-0 #1. AMTK 90208 is now an unpowered "Cabbage" (cab car and baggage car). |

BNSF 4279 |
| Description: |
Following the closing on Sunday, May 1st, 2016, of Fullerton, Californias, annual Railroad Days celebration, the four mainline display pieces were coupled together to begin - eventually - the trip back to Los Angeles. Brand-new BNSF Railway ES44C4 4279 is coupled to Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751, Amtrak "Cabbage" (an F40PH diesel converted to an unpowered cab car/baggage car) 90208 and Amtrak P42DC 42. The two Amtrak pieces are both wearing the distinctive Veterans paint scheme. Nearly two hours after closing, the hundreds of spectators got what they wanted - the 3751 belching smoke and steam as this train headed east to rejoin the mainline. It would be almost another hour and a half before the real show, however, when this train would depart westbound for L.A. with the steamer providing the power. It may have been dark, but the sound was amazing! |
