Description

The General Electric P42DC, also known as the Genesis, is the current primary passenger locomotive of Amtrak. Producing 4250 HP and with a top speed of 110mph, these units are seen nationwide on short and long-distance trains. Equipped with marker lights on each end, the units are also seen in service on push-pull trains. Amtrak originally rostered 208 of the units, numbered from 1-207. Most notable among these are the five specially-painted Heritage units, which were unveiled in 2011 for Amtrak’s 40th anniversary. Each one is painted in a different “phase” or paint scheme to highlight the different images of Amtrak over the years. Sadly #66, the Phase II unit, was involved in a grade crossing accident in 2016 (see image of AAT with the model) and was subsequently retired. In 2018, Amtrak released #130 in a similar scheme, and today it carries on the legacy of #66.
