AMTK #499 was a SUPER DUPER GREAT CATCH!
One of only five AMTK E8A units equipped with HEP.
Later, acquired by Conrail as their #4201.
Now owned by Bennett Levin as PRR #5711, its original number.
Thanks for the excellent and distinctive roster photo posting.

They would have to mount the HEP sockets right under the headlight

NOT the HEP connections. MU connections.

Short period for Amtrak with HEP and E8s. As bedraggled as some PRR units looked through their late career, it's remarkable this is a survivor. Thanks for sharing.
