Passenger Trains > We Don't Need No Stinkin' Matching LocomotivesDate: 11/23/22 18:07 We Don't Need No Stinkin' Matching Locomotives Author: walstib Rain was falling pretty hard along Seattle's Alsakan Way yesterday, when train 7 came rolling in to town, nearly 2 hours late, with a pair of chargers that don't match.
AMTK 305, sporting the original paint scheme, was on the point, while AMTK 310, displaying the current paint scheme, was trailing. I think this is the first time I've seen two chargers running back-to-back.

Day one scheme vs contemporary scheme Posted from Android Date: 11/25/22 04:28 Re: We Don't Need No Stinkin' Matching Locomotives Author: walstib I believe he’s asking more about the different schemes on AMTK 305 vs. AMTK 310. Not the special units like AMTK 301.

Since when does Amtrak think? And with all their issues ,having miss matched paint schemes is about the least of their problems.! Posted from iPhone Date: 11/25/22 15:53 Re: We Don't Need No Stinkin' Matching Locomotives Author: weatherdawg So this means that Phase VI is all of what, less than 10 Chargers total? Plus the one P42. Seems like a lot of effort (and some money) to design and paint another scheme shortly after the first for the Chargers.
