Date: 07/19/19 21:54 Re: Amtrak Long Distance Charger Test Train Author: RutledgeRadio I wonder what number (if any) this train has. I remember the Talgo train that went west from Chicago to La Junta early last year had a special Amtrak train number. You could bring it up on Transitdocs but it wouldn't show on the status map. Hopefully it stays close to the normal Zephyr so it's somewhat predictable.
