I´m a trainfan from germany. I just saw a slide from a E60 in the NEC from 2001. Are there some of these beautiful locos in use today? With which kind of trains? Thank you.

Yes, Amtrak runs the E60 units primarily on heavy trains such as the Florida trains...they run them from New York down to Washington behind the E60's and then switch to Genesis diesel units for the rest of the run. I believe they also use some on the Clocker runs to Philadelphia, but the really fast trains are all behind the "toasters".
