#5 with Double Bloody Noses (new P42 livery) in Emeryville
Author: WP17

A few weeks ago I was able to capture #5 with newly repainted P42 82 leading. Today I was able to capture a pair of newly repainted P42s hustling #5 into emeryville. This time it was 138 leading 82. 

Thanks to kevink in Chicago for reporting that this particular consist left Chicago with freshly repainted power.

New paint but still not washed. For shame. For shame.

You gotta wonder, given all the CHARGER problems, if AMTRAK is finally starting to wonder about re-building its GE units....the paint jobs seen to show interest in keeping them....

138 is repainted, but when it emerged from Byers Canyon yesterday and the engineer peeled back the throttle to increase speed from 20 MPH to 70 MPH, the 138 laid down a smokescreen worthy of a C636!  New paint doesn't necessarily mean any mechanical work was done.  BSB

Seems like Amtrak is going to need these longer than they thought.

And prime mover and bogie work also doesn’t mean new paint.
