One thing that has not been mentioned is the numbering scheme for the Amtrak-owned locomotives. The P40's are numbered in the 800 (800-843) series and the P42's are numbered from 1-207. The P30AC-DM's (3000HP, AC power, and Dual Mode, or equipped with third-rail shoes), like the LIRR locomotives that were spoken of, are numbered in the 700 series, and are mainly in use in the Albany-NYC corridor. LIRR has a roster of these units, but I'm not sure how many, and all I know is that they killed the FL9. As for the emergency red lights and flashers above the windshields, they have all been removed. They've been gone since the late '90's.
