Passenger Trains > New SEPTA Sprinters in... Kansas?Date: 04/24/18 18:54 New SEPTA Sprinters in... Kansas? Author: bnsfsd70 On Sunday afternoon, I caught a trio of brand-new SEPTA ACS-64 'Sprinters' heading east towards Kansas City between Williamstown and Midland, KS.
The UP 7778 was in charge of the SFLES 19, which included the SEPTA 906, 907, and 908. Thanks for looking, - Jeff Carlson Date: 04/24/18 19:25 Re: New SEPTA Sprinters in... Kansas? Author: Tominde Nice shot. Does UP charge less than Amtrak for delivery? Or does this fall under no more "charter" moves? Really good HP to ton ratio by UP.

Should be somewhere in Ohio by AM Wednesday. Or still at Avon. Some out there in east let us know!!! Date: 04/24/18 20:46 Re: New SEPTA Sprinters in... Kansas? Author: bnsfsd70 I've got no idea about the various charges involved, but these moves have been going on since December, well before the new Amtrak policy on special moves.
