| One of the best catches so far in 2012. Amtrak GP38H-3 525 trails third out on Q301-01. This unit was built in December of 1966 as CN GP40TC 605, the unit then went to GO Transit, a commuter railroad in Toronto, and retained the number 605. The GP40TC units (TC stands for Toronto Commuter) were built on an SD frame. This unit was sold to Amtrak, painted in Phase III paint and became GP40TC 197, the unit served on Passenger Trains out of Chicago for a while. Amtrak sent this unit to JBS in Altoona to be rebuilt into a GP38H-3 and renumbered 525, and is currently used on misc MOW jobs. Anyways, this unit is bound for Philly, and had CSX SD60M 8780 and CSX SD40-2 8209 leading this train once again. |
