IHB 3800 was built as Penn Central 8066, later becoming Conrail 8066, and then Norfolk Southern 5274 before being acquired by the IHB. (Hammond, Indiana - September 24, 2021). Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE and Covid precautions. |

| Description: |
After being on display at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal, a special Amtrak train hauled the Swedish X2000 (also known as X2) trainset to the next stop on its tour of the U.S., as the train departed for Phoenix, Arizona. These trains, constructed by Kalmar Verkstad in Kalmar, Sweden, operated on Sweden's Statens Järnvägar (Swedish State Railways), feature tilting technology for high speed operation. Wearing temporary Amtrak markings, Statens Järnvägar control car 2511 brings up the rear of the special as it heads east on the SP's old Sunset Line. |
