Check out the latest Amtrak loco and paint scheme. Big American flag, reminds me of UP. New cars are on the way too. Model mfgs should love this--something new for us to buy. I just hope it's not like the Acela(Bachmann) where they can't make speed.

This is the new ACS-64(Amtrak Cities Sprinter 6400 lbs of T/E) - To be used on the N/E Corridor. I guess the old Swede designed/EMD built 'toasters' are getting a little old by now.
