#6 with Two ACS-64s at Ottumwa, Iowa
Author: Agent

Went to see today's eastbound California Zephyr with two brand new ACS-64s at Ottumwa, Iowa.

1) Fair amount of people met the train at the station.

2) Consecutively numbered P42s 158 and 159 led #6 today.

3) AMTK 639.

4) AMTK 638.

5) All four locomotives plus the heritage baggage car.  According to what I've found on the internet, this one was built by Budd in 1961 as a Union Pacific coach.

I wonder if Amtrak Intercity could charge Amtrak Northeast Corridor for hauling these units east?
Could be a good source of revenue.

Be cool if they could use one of the Motors as a cab car for the Gennies. But I am sure none of the engineers west of Harrisburg are qualified on them.
