Bright Yellow Amtrak Engine on Carolinian July 2
Author: dadonatrain

I rode 80 the Carolinian yesterday from Durham NC to NewYork in business class. We made the usual engine swap at Washington. I was walking on the platform at the time and I didn’t see the electric engine we took on until it was too late to walk forward for a close look. But on a curve I could see it. It was entirely bright yellow. I have no clue all what its markings were. Does anyone know?

I think it might be one of two Crayola crayons wrap units.

See this thread from John Regan for pictures from just after the Crayola wraps were released.

Yep that's it.  I could see a big black logo on the center even though I couldn't read it from where I sat.  I'm sure this was it.  Thx.
