Thirdrail7 Report post #202 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Here are some videos of the hard working AEM7 number 945 as it heads to its retirement job at the Illinois Railway Museum. It sure beats heading under the scrapping torch. Edited March 2, 2018 by Thirdrail7 1 Ryan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnightRail Report post #210 Posted February 12 929 & 938 with all Amtrak markings spray paint patched over, a step that would be unlikely to be simply stored at Bear... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianpmcdonnell17 Report post #211 Posted February 13 They're probably going to San Jose to become test equipment for Caltrain. As of November, Caltrain was expecting to recieve two in February. If that is the case, I will try to get pictures when they pass through Chicago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
