Fred G Posted March 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2011 Good catch. They must be having a dispute in the fonts dept IINM, 948 is still dual font as well. Keep your eyes peeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE933 Posted April 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2011 I wish Amtrak would go back to Phase 3 or at least some other design for these locomotives. The present Phase V simply does not wear well, looking like they are going to a funeral or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted April 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2011 The amtrak larger blockier more square numbers are original style, while the smaller numbers are the newer type. Some of the shops i guess still have the older type on hand or they just repaint the original pieces. really does not cosmetically maintain their locomotives very well, and they are not used most of the time, only peak hours on specific trains typically. The single ALP-44 they have is in pretty sorry shape. One of the reasons for the cosmetic issues with their units is the nature of the routes they run on, lots of trees and lots of bridges, large number of opportunities for something to fall and be hit by any part of the exterior, especially the nose and the pantograph. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
