Here are some Amtrak locomotives at 30th Street station in Philadelphia. I wish I could embed video, since I also took a video of one of Amtrak's new ACS64 locomotives passing by.

Many of these engines are odd balls or quickly approaching the end of the line.

The Philadelphia Art Museum is in the background. A ballast train is stored here. Note the solar panels on each car. I hope they can withstand ballast when loading!

Also of interest, the new face of Baggage cars- the "Viewliner" baggage car. Amtrak also has a diner car using the Viewliner body.

Out in the back, a few metroliner cab cars.

Once again, at the Cherry Hill station, my plans to ride the train TO 30th street were dashed, as my girlfriend had accidentally read the weekend schedule, and we needed to be in Philadelphia before the next train.

Still, I took pictures and video. 4202 is a GP40PH-2B.
