Author: PC1073

Amtrak train 156 passes by SEPTA's Torresdale Station, about 4 minutes after sunset with the 
Coca-Cola wrapped motor in command.

Does this mean Amtrak has officially began to have Coke and not Pepsi on its trains?  On a recent trip the dining car attendant said it was in the making.  I hope so.  Does any one know?

From what I am told, yes, they now carry Coke products aboard. Though, do not quote me on that.

As someone had stated earlier, I think Amtrak should start selling these  wrapped loco ads.  It would generate much needed revenue for Amtrak, plus make railfanning alot more intestering.

I have no doubt that the contract for Amtrak to carry Coke products put a monetary value on the Sprinter's "wrap" and this led to a less overall cash outlay. The "wrap" is worth something!

Love Coke over Pepsi, but that wrap really doesn't do anything for me.
I would have at least put the Coca Cola emblem next to the bear!
