Nostalgia & History > some Early Amtrak E UnitsDate: 12/05/12 15:13 some Early Amtrak E Units Author: glcaddis Here are a few pictures of some E units that were painted for Amtrak. Most shots were in Bloomington, IL. One is from Harrisburg, PA and another is from Chicago. There is one that I don't know where it was taken. Let's make this a where is it. I'd like to know which shot has not been identified and where is it?
