QUOTE: Originally posted by CSXrules4eva I had to vote for the P42DC. I like seeing it pull trains like the Texas Special or the downeastern. I do also like seeing the Acela and the HHP train sets too, but I see them all the time because I only live 10mins away from the NEC. I would of voted for the GG1 if Amtrak had any. Man I would never get sick of seeing that beauty.

Man I would never get sick of seeing that beauty. TYCO did/does have the above mentioned GG1 with Amtrack's markings . However I "think" it was Phase III tho... If so inclined, sombody could mount the shell on a better quality motor/running gear. [:D] Just a thought....
"P42DC Sucks F40PH all the way"
Post this again when you're an engineer and have done a comparison test......
my favorite Amtrak locomotive to take pictures of is anything at the top of the NEC, South station in Boston. But I rarely get down there anymore...
