CTRail Genesis rebuild on Amtrak 48 at Elkhart
Author: JPB

Captured on the Elkhart Live Cam at 12:42AM this morning 4/20/21 heading east on Amtrak Lake Shore Ltd. If I understand correctly, this is one of several CTRail's ex-Amtrak Genesis units that was rebuilt at Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops.

Look for it around 7:30AM on the North East Live Cam.

Lets see if a rebuild makes a much more reliable locomotive out of it. 
VIA Rail already shamed Amtrak by rebuilding their F40's.

I have never been a fan of the units, I think its cause of the droll Amtrak paint. That girl looks spiffy

Update from evening of 4/20/21: The eastbound Boston section of the Lake Shore Ltd, train 448, passes the Steaming Tender restaurant with the CTRail Genesis - guess it's going all the way to Boston South Station.
