Funny they call them "Amtrak's" new locomotives but Amtrak is yet to buy a Charger.

 
They may be owned by and lettered for various state agencies but they are the motive power for any number of Amtrak schedules.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

All we have to do is cursor to end of link and push space bar once . For us the link either turns blue or red. That activates it.

There are two ways. 
1. utilize the 'link' icon (which is 4th fron the left of the bottom row of the 'Post Body' screen.
2. Use the  right and left brackets '[ ]' and url  /url to on both ends of your link.  As in (url)this is your link(/url) use the brackets instead of the parens

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Came aross this on Google News and while we all (Trains Readers) know about them, this was for the public. Don't know whether Amtrak or Siemens were behind it but thought you might enjoy.
