Amtrak 66 Update...
Author: csxtravis700

Per Heritage Unit report and other forums.  According to a employee Amtrak 66 will not be repaired.  The report says it is a Multi Million dollar repair and Amtrak will not be doing it.  
Beech Grove does some major repair work and 66 does not look as bad as some of the engines they have rebuilt.   Any other information regarding this?

Thanks,

It could be the frame itself is damaged to a point where return on investment is not plausible.

Was involved in a road crossing accident in February 2016.  Stuck a semi trailer while on the Lincoln Service near Joliet.
