Yeah but only for the NEC services. Acela no.
They will kill the AEM7/HHP8.

I ment that the Acela is the only good looking train set that Amtrak has got in a while; everything else,the P40, AEM7, and HHP8 locomotives are unpleasing to the eye.

Amtrak doesn't only have P40s, it also has P32s / P42s and many more Non-Genesis sets.
Of course the Acela looks like a euro type car.

The AEM7's might see it's fate, the HHP8's are probably going to be sold for other use since their age are relatively young. I wouldn't necessarily say they're being killed, rather they're displaced.

Who would buy the HHP8? Its reliability is pathetic.
