It's a shame it couldn't have been the other way around, charger destroyed and 161 slightly damaged. I guess we get to see if Amtrak will try a third phase 1 heritage P42DC.

Good thing they didn’t catch fire or they would have further delayed their inaugural run. Which is already 5 years past the announced date

If it doesn't go toward the exhaust it just makes smoke and stinks....if it does go toward the exhaust...that can be bad.
